Heating with coal is a wonderful thing, isn't it?

They sure are awesome stoves. It was 30° today with 30MPH winds made it feel like 17°. No baro but set on 3.5 the house was a comfy 71°. I love this stove.

This will also be our first year with the DS. We are very happy with it and although its 17 outside, we are still waiting to really open it up! Sure puts the heat out!

I will be reviewing the stove later once we had the chance to really crank it up..

What were your stove temps? It is 19° here right now, it is now 72° but I just turned the stove up. Laser just behind the Hopper door says 484°. The house was 71° all night with the stove idling around 440° and it was windy.
