Came home last night and wife asked me to build a fire. I knew it wasn't supposed to get down out f the 50's but I did it anyway. Slept with the windows open. It's 58 degrees right now and we have a fire going. She had it stoked back up when I came down stairs this morning. I'll let it go out and hopefully she won't want one tonight. It's supposed to be in the 70' tomorrow.

It's like buying a snowblower......buy one and it will not snow for two years

True Dat!!! I think this is all either my fathers doing... He bought a snow plow for his Lawn tractor, or Brother Bart.

The Bro has been keeping that new stove of his running and he's heating up the whole east coast.
 
I'm Guilty..I had a fire last night...it was 48 degrees here in Bristol..Kept it at 400 degrees with the ceiling fan on. Its my stress release man ...I love my stove..

Lucky, man your lucky! Mine, likes it when its 40 inside, big ole 50s frosty air fan cranking, windows open, I keep stove on just to satisfy the thermostat downstairs, while you could hang meat upstairs, one benefit, when I cook her out of the living room , when it hits 80ish from stove, i get the big tv as she retreats upstairs to the meat, i mean bed room. drawback, i'm sleeping on couch or its sleep in parka up there, but to actually have a wife stoke, load, or care for your stove......priceless, man your lucky!
