So, I decided to take pics and record times, temps, etc. with the new stove (my wife said I need more to do). Anyways, here is kind of a pic story of load times, wood used, inside temps, stove temps, outside temps, etc...
9 pm. Load stove with 4 pieces of seasoned oak and 1 box elder. Inside house temp is 72. Outside is 26.
9:25. Close down air. Stove top is 450ish. House is 73.
7:00 am. Heard the heat pump come on at 6:30, and the house is set for 68. Got up and this is what I found. Raked and reloaded. Firing again.
The temp outside temp was 13 last night. House is 36 years old, newer windows, ok insulation. House the stove heats is 2753 sq. ft. Two bedrooms were closed off.
