Ours has been running all day, and all night! Hubby does a great job with it! I supply the kindling.

Well, our thinking was "it's going to be a cold morning, but not too cold tonight." Temps were in the 30s when everyone went to bed. It's 11* and falling right now. Heat pump does ok in 20's but not in teens. So I'll be up for a bit until the stove is doing its job. BTW, I hate weather forecasters. Low tonight was supposed to be 25*

We use a woodstove too! My dad is amazing at keeping it going.

Well, we're kind of in an apex. House is well insulated, so if we start it when too warm the house get's too warm. And if we start it late it can take a while to do its job, which is where I am right now.

I don't know anyone else who gets it wrong that much that still has a job!

Have him teach you how to start a fire in case you need to. Good skill to have.

I can see what happened... They were forecasting cloudy skies tonight which would insulate our temps but the clouds left about an hour ago and the temps fell like a rock. Beautiful clear sky.

I installed a full roll of insulation in the north wall of the workshop today. It was in the 20s in there or i would have done more. I have 2 more rolls that were here when we moved in. That should do the full wall on that side.

We normally start the wood stove when it hits 22* outside. I was plunking away out here and not paying attention and then felt cold. went and looked and house temp was passing through 60* and it was 12* outside. I should have know it was going to happen as I noted the clear skies an hour or two ago, but just didn't connect the dots.

I can tell you we sure check the weather here a lot more than we did in FL! But we also spend a lot more time outside.
