That earthquake, though small, might be a possibility as well. If you suspect that, then an inspection needs done at some point before you spend more money and time on that chimney.

I only had it burning 24 hours prior. It $hit the bed almost right away. Prior to that was last year with the old leaky flue pipe. I’ll have to investigate this earthquake as I knew nothing about it and the news didn’t say anything

Thursday’s earthquake was felt throughout most of Hunterdon County in New Jersey and in parts of Bucks and Northampton counties in Pennsylvania.

Roughly a dozen people reported that the tremor shook their houses but didn’t cause any damage.

Ah ok. So the areas that it was felt in PA are actually about 100-110 miles east of me. Prob why I didnt know about it. I doubt anything took place here or the news and paper would have picked it up. I know I never felt anything. The last earthquake I felt here was about 10–11 years ago. Dog got real squirrely then all of the sudden was just one single loud boom and house shook for a split second.

Lucky you! I wish it would get cold here but we are unfortunately considered sub tropical in this corner of the state. Cold and snow are what I love warm and rain is what I get lol

It’s 20-22 degrees here(thermostat reads low) and still winds. Current conditions. Used one coal pail worth in 13.5 hrs

That's Hitzer weather. Let it rip. The blower helps when running the stove hard.

Glad things are running well for you.
