I guess we're going to find out. It's already -8F outside. I think I'm going to get up in the middle of the night and reload the stove. Anyone have any advice?
COLD tonight!! Will the Englander do it??

I've only been burning for a few weeks, but my body has already started to adjust to the dopr in temp at nite, prompting me to get up at 3 or 4 am to reload. Wish I had one of those all-nite burning high efficiency stoves everyone talks about...

Haha. That's me as well. The best bed in the house when it's cold is the couch in the living room. I usually don't use a blanket, and I'll wake up when it's time to reload automatically.

-8 - now that is cold. here in columbus its a balmy 15 degrees.
Yikes, -12F already at 10:20PM. The awful part is neither of us were home today to keep it going to warm the house up, so we started cold.
I've been burning for exactly 1 week so I'm still learning how to work it...
My new 13 has been great so far! Last night at around 11:30 I loaded with 3 large splits of Cherry on a real nice bed of coals. I had a "trough" cut down the middle in front of the air inlet and got her up to around 600*. Then I shut the air down to almost closed and went to bed. It dropped to the low single digits outside but inside, it was a nice 72. In the morning around 7, I had a great bed of coals that I put a couple small splits on and it sprang back to life with no effort at all. It was still 70 inside and still in the mid single digits outside. This little Englander is great!
And best of all, the propane tank hasn't been touched in a week.

What size of space are you heating with your 30? That's one heat monster.
