It's all the way up to zero now.R2ELK, yah, but it warmed up after that..
our wind chill wasn't even that bad..
pretty sky..
I like pellet stove heat better. It stays more even where wood stove heat has a tendency to go up when you add more wood until it starts burning down making it time to add more wood.
I have yet to find a pellet tree out in my woods
Decided to quote you two here,,, Not related to baking.Me either but then at the time I wasn't finding any firewood there either. I was buying firewood in log length in semi loads once a fall.
When I got to the point that I was still cutting and splitting firewood in nasty temperatures in January, I switched to a pellet stove.
I do not provide supplemental heat for my poultry. It interferes with their ability to adapt to the ambient temperatures. I have not had anything other than a little comb frostbite damage.I fired up my wood stove inside the garage to keep my hens Comfy. I only warm up to about 32.°+ Outdoor it is 7°F thermometer temp by me.

You think 7°F is too cold for your chickens. Mine went through -40°F in December. -28°F on the 30th and -9°F last night. They are doing fine without supplemental heat.
I know what that is like having grown up in SW PA. We did not provide supplemental heating to our poultry back then either. We did not have problems with them during the cold times.Rich is in the county north of me.
The problem here is the humidity. This morning it was below zero and over 85% humidity.
