Well The fun is done I guess 24/7 burning is very near. The first time I have fully loaded the 007 since April, and the first time we are burning for 24 hrs straight (hot coal reload) current outside temp of 5f at 10:10 inside 67f. Cruised the stove on low since 4:00am and kept the house at 66f all day with a high of 25f. Might just see some -f in the am hours. I know out west it has already showed up and now its our turn... yeah. Inaccuweather is giving us a nighttime low of 17f, we passed that before 6pm and the NWS gives us a low of 14f, we passed that at 6:15! This is just like last year only a week later I guess global warming didn't get the memo again. What a difference spray foam has made we would've started 24/7 burning well over a month ago and we would've burned almost 2 cords and 20 gallons of k-1 instead we are just under .5 cords and 3 gal of k-1. This stuff is amazing!
