Thank God for global warming. Think of how brutally cold it would be otherwise. Our SUVs, lawn mowers and chain saws are saving the planet right now. ;-)
Got to 1` degree here in Mid Missouri this morning. The chickens didn't want to go outside. Jus stayed on the roost. Too cold to crow.
Wish I had something bigger than my PE Super 27 that would hold fire longer.

Sure is alot colder in Bruno, MN. than Plymouth, MN. It was only -10 last night, I guess the city holds the heat in the buildings or something like that. I was gonna look at some property in Bruno that was for sale. Nice to know others on forum from MN are doing ok!
Sunday morning -32 and the power went out at 7:30 am. I sure was glad I had the Liberty going. It was only out for 2 hrs but I"ll bet some homes got pretty cold at that temp. This am I looked at the thermometer and thought, great its only -18.

Hey Doug, How big is your Liberty Stove and how long are your burn time in temps like that?
Jim
The Liberty is the largest Lopi at 3.1 cu ft of firebox according to there website. I just got it the 1st of Nov. and am still learning how to use it. If I damper all the way down, I have coals in the morning(7.5-8 hrs) but low heat. I am trying rounds at night (5"-6") to see if it will burn longer and hotter. I like the stove so far.

You got all the wood you need living up north, its harder in the burbs to process wood with limited space.

I will admit that having 120 acres of woods 3.5 miles from the house is very convenient. The tractor and dump trailer help alot to. I grew up in Afton MN and my dad was always scrounging for wood. Burning wood is alot of work, I don't know if my daughters will do it, I think they had enough when they were home.

This is a very unusual cold snap. Interesting to note that today, the US has parts that are colder than the North or South Poles!
