We've got some cold weather on the way here. I'm presently projecting that we will burn 100 lbs. of coal on the 30th, and 95 lbs. on the 31st. And from today through the 31st. we will average about 78 lbs. burned per day. It may be time for us to burn up some more of our compressed sawdust wood blocks in the ComfortMax.

Update: It may not get above zero all day on the 30th here, and the low will be around -16, so we just might break our single day coal consumption record of 105 lbs.. Unless the ComfortMax bails us out. But then there are coal equivalents to consider....

If you hurry Rob, you can be here before the rain starts. One 80x200' building and another 80x110' ... bring a big shovel.
Or get these guys...

Nothing wrong with exercising your other heating equipment. I had to supplement with propane last weekend. :oops:


We got rain all day yesterday, and everything froze overnight. Might be better off skating to work than driving.
