I think were gonna get BLASTED soon. My only complaint about the weather right now is that I can't get to the woods due to the mud. Hopefully it freezes hard prior to the snow.
That is one of the pluses I like about a boiler. I start one fire around November and that is it and indoor temp stays the same. I know I use more wood than one in the house but putting wood in once a day is worth it to me. Plus I don't have to drag the wood through the house. I put mine in a building so the years wood is dry along with me when I feed it. Hot water is nice as well.
I get a "nut" filling my boiler to heat 2 houses and my hot tub(most important of the 3). If only I could get it to work for my chain saw. We keep the house temp at 72 with windows open for the fresh winter air. My friends have saran wrap on all their windows, plugged every hole so they do not have any precious oil heat loss and their houses smell like a litter box. I complain while cutting, stacking etc but sure as hell nice right now
When you say you have to "light a fire" in the morning, I'm assuming you still have lots of hot coals and are not lighting it from scratch?
As of this week, I'm outta shoulder season trash wood. I never planned on three months of burning the junk, and concentrated on the good stuff. No complaints, but now I gotta either get to burning the good stuff real low, or get busy working on the pile of stinky Box elder and sassafrass I was saving for splitting for next year.
Why do I get the feeling we are gonna get clobbered in a week or so?
Stay safe!
