A mild 42 here tonite, just ashes and some hot embers in the Kuuma, will let the propane take over for a day or two before starting in with the wood when cooler weather arrives. My neighbor had a chimney fire tonite- BURN SAFE.
Its 45 now with a forecasted low of 40. I am putting a half load of red oak in the stove for the night and will let it go out. Its going to be in the 60s for highs the next seven days at least so this will be my routine for now.
I didn't even load my stove last night. The warmer temps have been nice. house only got down to 64 over night. 42 outside this morning. Put some maple and cherry in to keep the boiler from turning on. At this rate I might still have some wood left in my storage rack near the house at the end of the season. More warm temps coming back Sunday.
It was 37.1 this morning, nothing for fire in the wood or pellet stoves today. We had a propane line installed off our 3/4 inch Wardflex running to the propane fireplace. We're getting rid of the electric stove, the new propane stove will be in by the end of the month when we make the switch.
