Temps here this week are around -2°C during the day and about -6-8°C overnight. A week ago, I was burning 4 half loads per day of smallish rounds and splits (hard and soft mix). Recently I've been burning 3 loads per day of larger splits (all hard) and it seems to be working out so far. It would be great to only load the stove 3 times per day but I'm not sure if I can get away with this once winter hits full on. Last night I loaded 4 large splits of ash and maple around 9:30 and reloaded this morning on coals around 7:30. It's 22 °C in the house right now and I'm going to fire up today's second load within an hour. What do you do?
