There seems to be no DELETE function for when you double-post...

Well Tuesday was cold here, I think around 11º. When I got up in the morning it was a little chilly. My stove was only 350º because I forgot to crank it up a little before I went to bed. I should have had it cooking at about 400º or a little higher.
It's in a finished basement of a Ranch about 1900' total. I never forget about how to prevent puff backs, I never forget to keep the ash door closed, but I did forget to turn the heat up. :oops:

Tuesday night I ran it at 450, with outside 10 and inside 67. I may try for 500 next time it gets that cold.

With the kind of temperature we had Tuesday night 450 would have been more than enough for me.
Having a tight house has its advantages. :D

Yeah, this old house can't be called well insulated. Looking forward to some upgrades after the last kid finishes college.
