Dec 2-22, first of the second half ton of Jeddo went into the stove this morning
Forecast is for 5-6 more days of high 30 mid 40 days so not much will change with settings or use till at least mid month
Working just 2-3 days a week doing regional semi trucking leaves much more time for home and family stuff

Nothing new to report other than my area is being forecast for the possibility of 15” of snow next week Wednesday- Saturday
That’s been changing slightly up and down this week but the closer it gets the higher the expectations have gotten over all
If half of that really happens it will hamper my work the first part of the following week
Be safe out there

After thought, all during our coal burning experience in this house, before any updates to the present I have been running large stoves hot enough to have the thermostat on the wall in the next room reading 70 no matter how cold out and the rest of the house would be fine
This summer I put ALOT of insulation in the attic and just realized that we have a new comfort range
I’m only needing to have 66-68 on the thermostat for the same feel as before. In fact, now our bedroom, that is right above the room the thermostat is in, is closed 24/7 with the north window open 2-3 inches is borderline too warm for sleeping
May have to crack the east window up there

Yep…insulation goes a long, long way in helping stay warm. It’s like it magnifies radiant heat and convection heat it seems.
It’s 74 in here, which happens when the crew starts cooking. I also just added 6 shovels full and just opened some windows to try and bring it down to 71 +/-1. Running about 12-14 small hod shovels full a day…22lbs+/- by guesstimate.
Oil is $4.67/gal here. Thank the Lord for coal!
5 years ago we spent over $2500+ for oil @$2.67/gal … roughly 936+ gallons of oil. Todays cost would be $4371. Yikes!!!!
I’ll likely heat for less than $650 this year, 1.5 tons. I am “stoked” about that.
I owe it to y’all and this great forum.

So, we are sitting here waiting for this “ bomb cyclone blizzard to do whatever tomorrow thru Saturday.
In the mean time it’s 23 real feel, wind under 5, stove in base mode, 1/8” primary, mano at -.01. House at 72 with 2 windows open 1.5” both up and down.
I could close the primary down to dollar bill but why bother, the bi metallic will do it on its own in a little bit.
That’s the news this morning from #1 easy steet

I assume your first move is closing the windows? (By the way, is that 1/8" primary a guestimate, or feeler guage? Just wondering because sometimes you give much smaller measurement for the primary.)
Going to be interesting to see how she does for you over the next 4-6 days.

Yes probably close one on each floor and go from there
As you know the DS primary is a round spout cut at about a 45 degree angle, the 1/8” was measured at the lower center, the air spaces reduces to zero in 4.5” on each side of that center spot.
Yes, I could turn the dial back and make the opening paper thin right now but as the OAT rises some today the control box will take care of it
