Fire is out stove is cold

[eba1225]

Yes that is right I let the fire go out and let the stove go cold. Well I sort-of had to, with temps forcasted to reach the mid to upper 60's here in SE Pa I can't see running the stove and keeping the windows open. But it will be fired up again tonight as they forcast lows in the 40's and then highs of 30 on Sunday.

Im in Williamsport PA NEPA and Im doing the same. I have a load burning hot now after its out im going to do a complete ripdown and scrubbing.

I don't let mine go out - I just get it hot and damper it down - saves on wood and keeps the heat coming a bit. I have no need for cleaning with only two months left of burning. These temps in the 50s to 60s are still on cloudy rainy days...and only hit those highs for a portion of the day.

Ours hasn't went out for a long time but we did let it burn down to just a very few coals. It's working now. I just came in a bit ago and it is snowing so hard I looked like a walking snowman. Man, that wood stove heat sure felt good then too.

I'm in the burn down the coals and then start off what's left mode. Stovetop gets down to 200 and stays there a long time, I'd say we are burning one med load in the day and a full load overnight; that keeps the house OK and the wood use is way down.
