Made it through another Christmas, now moving onto 2018(?)
Got a late start with the 111 this season due to another warm late fall, but winter has finally arrived a few days ago. Temps down to 0, and haven't heard the weathermen screaming out the "wind chills". (I think they get bonuses for having the lowest recorded temperatures )
With an old leaky house, and temps this low, I'll have to admit the black liquid dungeon machine has been pumping a bit, cause of the up-stairs T-stat calling it out. The 111 has a hard time flowing heat all the way to the up-stairs end rooms, but the downstairs has been a toasty 75° on average, with a minor bit of tending. Still only using about 40lbs (Lehigh stove) a day, or 1 bag, and dumping a pan or so of ashes a day. Below is a few pics of this festive season. Hope you enjoy

Thanks men.
Tom, sorry I missed your last visit to this hood, but if you want to swing by again, I'm sure we can find something for you.
Anyone else want to post your holiday stove pics, I'm sure the members would be glad to view.
