Yup snuggie and my little girl wants one, she is here checking out the site so I am on my best behavior.
Just thought I'd bump this thread back to the top to remind everyone to CLEAN YOUR STOVES before tonight....the cold is coming! :grrr:
DOH! You mean up until now we've had fake cold?
Dang, don't tell that to my pellet stove!
J/k with ya Pete. (broken image removed)
Stove is crankin over here. Cleaned it this morning, fired her back up before lunch.
Dropped the T cap and brushed the pipe while I was at it.
Did both blowers in the last thorough cleaning so those should be
set for a while. (broken image removed)

Thanks for the reminder!!
Cleaned the ash pan last weekend and the burn pot tonight.
Love this pellet heat!!
Here in NW Wisconsin, last night was -19 with a high today of -7.
Thursday is when the real cold is going to get here.
Running Breckwell Big E, have it set on #3 keeping the main level around 65 at night and 70 during the day. Upstairs is running about 5 degrees cooler.
Thursday might have to see what level #4 will produce.
Claiming it will be upper 20s or lower 30s next week.

Well here this morning its -33C or -27F :bug: That'll affect the brass monkey :lol:
This morning the propane fireplace came on meaning upstairs was below 17C or 62F. And thats with the stove downstairs at 80% capacity.
We don't complain tho' my brother in law is 450 miles north of here teaching at an outpost and its -43C or -45F there.

Not as bad as N. Ontario, but this is what my neck of the woods is expecting: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?site=CAR&FcstType=text↦.x=208↦.y=51

Yup, as soon as I get home from work I will spend 20mins with the shop vac and get it all cleaned out. I think I might also leave it running while I am at work tomorrow. which I have not done yet. I had one auger failure and the pellets started smoldering in the auger tube. never got to the hopper though but made me a little nervous.
