It was 50.2 this morning, we didn't have a fire overnight or this morning. The propane fireplace is being used today when needed, I did run the furnace for about seven minutes before coffee this morning.

14/68 Friday was in the 70’s today supposed to be 30’s! 5 splits of Oak in the Fireview this morning.

Home from the Northwoods. Internet didn't get installed again...🤬. House is cold, heaters are on, 3 ash and 2 aspen in...

31 degrees going down to about 20. 6 ash and 1 beech, all big ones are in.

It was 50.2 when I called it a night, this morning we had 34.2, since we haven't had any fires lately, the basement temp started out at 63 with the temps up here 65 & 66 this morning. The first fire has some cherry, beech, maple with some ironwood in it.

We're running the propane fireplace for a bit this morning until the heat starts making a difference from the wood stove in the basement.

It's 29.4 out tonight, the basement temp is starting out at 73 with the temps up here at 68 & 69. The wood stove has one big round of ironwood in it with five splits of beech for the overnight heat.

Currently still in the 40's but will be low 30's by morning. 3 ash and 3 beech tonight.

So Fireview was at 550 STT or 550 Cat . At what STT would the F45 have to have for equal BTU output? Tough question.
I restarted this morning after 3 days of cold stove as we had warmer outside temps. 34.4 low this morning with wind. 66.4 low in family room, heat kicked on at programmed set up time. Arggggg. Had stove preloaded, just needed to be lit.....Normal startup with 4 splits oak/hickory and some kindling. Ahhh 71 in FR now

We had 19 degrees this morning, I'm not sure what the temps were in the house but the wife had the furnace running before I finally came out. We picked up a few things today so we still haven't had a fire, the outside temp back here is up to 33.

That is a tough question! I’m not sure you can base the BTU output by the stove top temps alone. The Fireview releases the heat slower and steadier than the F45. A similar load in the F45 would probably run a hotter stove top over 600 then fall off quicker. Pretty close BTU output between the two just released different.

I had two fires today so the temp up here is 72, we won't have a fire tonight. The outside temp is 33.4 tonight.

 

[NickW]

No fire today yet. Down to 39 outside and the house is getting chilly, so firing up the charcoal and will load up some hardwood in a bit. A little snow in the forecast tomorrow night here, but the Northwoods is supposed to get 8-12"...

33 this morning. Oak and maple. 5 smaller splits. Going to low 50’s today so will be a one and done fire this morning. House should hit 73.

30 this am and house is at 63. Decided on a small spruce and 1 piece of maple load. Between this and today’s sun I shouldn’t need a load tonight. Seems like I’ve been in this pattern for the last 2 weeks. Still burning though! Down to 1 rack on the porch.
