33 outside of Albany NY. Added another 80 lbs in the Keystoker 90. It is in the basement family room, and heats upstairs as well. Will be burning into May for sure.

Kept it burning through the warm days knowing that this chill would be here. Happy to be coasting along at 300*, tending once per day and using about 20 lbs per day.
