59* outside now and going into the 40's. I don't really need a fire but it feels damp inside and I just want to sit and have a beer with my stove.

We have been cooler than that . Didn't start a fire.
One morning was in the high 30s, so I did a short test
on the stove and the furnace. Would hate to wake up
to a really cool morning, and my heat source needs repair

Stay Warm!
Your post is a reminder I need to do a full cleaning on the stove and chimney.
Usually first fire is in October.

Yesterday it was 41* but the house only got down to 67* so I was wearing a sweatshirt for half the day. The sun angel is such that shadows are long on the east and south sides, so I don't get the solar gain to warm up the place until lateer in the day.
Currently the house is 68* (2:30 am), so if it drops too much more I'll be firing up the mini split for a quick warm up. Pellet stoves are still in their summer hibernation. Even if I started the main floor stove now, the house would heat up too much and I'd be having to cool it off.
I was thinking last night that it is about time to unplug the exhaust and OAK to the main floor stove though, check everything (I'm pretty sure I cleaned it last spring, but never hurts to check). Basement stove still has a while before I think about getting it ready.
