Hope you've got plenty of wood to keep them going for the winter.

They are very efficient stoves and I'm about two and a half years ahead with seasoned Oak.Hope you've got plenty of wood to keep them going for the winter.

Lows in the single digits and highs not even reaching 20 for all of this week. We still have yet to run our furnace. I loaded the stove up at 11 pm last night and again at 7 am this morning. Our house only dipped down to 67 during that time! One stove, no fans, and a 3300 sq foot house and we are able to heat exclusively with wood unless highs are under 10 degrees! This little stove amazes me every year!

Bout 10 cords stacked in the dry. Few stacked on pallets out in the weather. Cutting more every week...

That is exactly right! We have a very tight and we'll insulated home. Because of that the stove was set up to draw air from outside.

Been off and on since the second week in October here in Maine. Didn't load the stove yesterday at all. Temps dropped pretty good overnight to 20 so I will fire it back up tonight when we get home. The forcast looks like we are now into the full time heating season. Installed a Drolet Heatmax this year and I can get the house up to temp pretty quick so I haven't had to keep a fire running to maintain the house temps. House and basement is also very well insulated so my report may be a bit out of sync with the rest of southern Maine.

Was about 12 degrees in North Idaho this morning and I've been burning full time for about a week now. Prior to the cold snap it was an evening fire for the previous week. Burning mainly the rest of the shoulder season lodgepole pine before I move on to the seasoned red fir.
Been burning since Friday night here in eastern Oklahoma. Temps in the 20s and 30s. We built an ICF house (insulated concrete form) about a year ago. I'm able to keep the entire house (3600 sf) between 70-75 with 3 burns a day. Wasn't sure the ICF was going to pay off while we were building it. This is the first winter we've been in it, and I've been amazed how well it holds the heat.
