Wood Burning Stove

Looks good, as for the logs, better to have and not need, than to need and not have.
Besides they'll keep til next year if need be.

I installed a ceiling fan today. Actually it’s a box floor fan. It may not look purdy but it’s totally functional. I had a ceiling plug-in installed for a ceiling reeled cord. The fan is controlled by a remote on the plug-in.

It’s controlled by a battery remote.

Installing it I was high on the ladder and could really feel the heat difference between the ceiling and floor.

I’ve had enough fires in the stove to master it. It’s not all that complicated or difficult. I can build a rip roaring fire or a slow all-night burner.

What I’ve learned is yes the presto logs will burn for twelve hours but they don’t produce a lot of heat burning that slow and a larger fire really ‘burns’ through them. I suspect I’ll only heat it when it’s warmer than single digits or only for Packer games when it’s colder.

Our woodstove is chugging away tonight, very cold and we have a foot of snow with another foot on the way.

I really like snow. I even like the cold as long as the wind isn’t blowing which I do get living on Timms Hill. Next week it will finally be in the single digits.

We have a winter wonderland this morning.

Snowed all day Thursday. Ground isn't frozen yet but ended up with around 4/5 inches. Rain and 40º with wind Friday cleared it all up. Time to get the snowblower on the tractor.

Last night it got into the single digits. When I got home and started the fire it was 16F outside and about 25 inside. After an hour and half a dozen logs it’s 38. I think the Fisher stove barely keep the shop warm when it’s this cold.

[Sir Henry]

It’s now 11F outside with 10-20 mph wind and 59F inside.

That sounds cozier.
