Welp last night i didnt check the forcast. I knew there were 2 warm days in a row but i thought it would cool off at night last night. I loaded the heat commander 80% full of red oak and went to sleep with the house at 71 with no call for heat tstat set to 60. Ive been doing long extended burns on low to keep the house from overheating. Well because i didnt check the hourly forcast it was 44 when i loaded it and it was 50 at 2 am when i was woken by the angry wife! Bedroom was 82! Oops! Rest of the house was 78. Just got home from work and the house is still 73 20 hours after loading!
