One Ton Down The Hopper

[sante fe]

Burned up a ton. Anyone else close to finishing off a ton.

 

[Salty]

i'll see your ton and raise you 3/4

And my stash still looks like this on one side of the basement. Okies and Lacretes on the other side.

 

[IHATEPROPANE]

61 is almost through the stove, 62 is partially in the hopper. I did the LBT at 25 bags, the old vacuum out the two side traps and combustion blower at 50, next LBT at 75 bags.

I changed my t-stat batteries today and entered some setbacks and increased my swing one unit. It is getting close to going to #3 heat range time (15outside temperatures or below).

 

[Northwoodneil]

1.5 tons but the missus likes it warm.

 

[TheMightyMoe]

Around 90, almost 2 pallets.

 

[Wachusett]

Getting close, bag 47 just went in.

 

[343amc]

I'm a slacker. Bag 16 went in for me. But I burn pellets during the day and cordwood at night. Still hasn't gotten cold here yet except for a few days here and there.

 

[smalltown]

42nd bag went in this evening.

 

[movemaine]

crap. I have no idea. I bought a ton of Maine Softies, but I also had some Green Supreme's left over from last year (maybe 8?). I also bought 20 bags of LG's, 10 bags of Black Hills, 10 bags of Okies, 5 bags of Northeast's and 5 bags of Crabbe's. And then I gave my father a bunch of pellets as well - maybe 25 bags and I still have some as well. So I must be right at a ton.

 

[Countryboymo]

Isn't this your first season with the Sante Fe? What are your thoughts about it so far?

 

[sante fe]

I bought the stove new in 2005. My thoughts , Reliable, just keeps running and running.Not a lot of bells and whistles but it hasn't failed me yet.

LBT = LeafBlower Trick... to clean the exhaust/vent

 

[reg1952]

Thanks SwineFue for the education.I seen a video on doing this.Does the liner come clean or should you still brush it?

 

[SwineFlue]

.Does the liner come clean or should you still brush it?

You'll still need to do the brushing/etc first.

 

[iron stove]

Around 90, almost 2 pallets.

You guys warmed up from the last few weeks ! Saw -30's up there. Never been out in that kind of cold. I snowmobile up on the canadian border, and have missed it before by a day or so. I dont want to ride in it, but would like to experiance it for a day or two

 

[thedude110]

Bag 40 is in the hopper. Close to that heartbreaking sight of an empty pallet.
