Saturday night the wife and I went out to dinner and I told my girls the stove would be fine. We came home and it was running around 400F but the house was cold. I can usually get the house up to around 74F but the stove was struggling. I loaded it up and it worked itself up to around 500F but the house was still not warming up. I set it up for an all night burn and we went to bed. When we got up for church I had coals and a cold house with the heat pump running. :sick: Weather was 16F, clear skies and no wind.
Sunday night we had the same weather and pretty much the same thing. We get home and I stoke the fire and get her cruising around 500F. This time the house heated up nicely, got it to 76F as a matter of fact. Went to bed and slept hard but woke up @ 0550hrs to a heat pump running :sick: , again. I reloaded the stove (still working on a good all night burn) and she took right off. Within an hour I had the house back to 72F and the stove was cooking at 560F. Overnight temp was 19F.
Any ideas why one night the stove would heat and the next it wouldn't? Both days the stove ran all day to keep the chimney warm. The wife and I scratched our heads and have no ideas so I once again come to the wise sages at hearth.com.
