Did a relight a few days ago and pretty warm today. Primary air just cracked secondary wide open and MPD 3/4 closed. Stove top 200 and stack surface 8- internal probe 200. I see some glowing in the center so assume still burning as it has been like this for hours. It is about 62 outside living room 75 whole house for that matter. I suspect the stove so warm as there is no where to transfer much heat. I have never seen the probe this low with a live fire inside. The draft still 0.03, if it goes down will keep opening the MPD. Sound like a plan until tonight when it will be 40 at best. Talking about a frost this weekend. Ok tell me about global warming one more time....JohnB wrote:I've been running straight Blaschak for two days including yesterday when it hit 75°. Burns just fine in warm weather.

I went through about half (1.5 T)of my TS Kimmel nut this winter & am on track to burn just over 3 tons total. This is down from last years 3.6+ tons so considering the Winter we had it's looking like taming my draft with the Baro had a very positive effect. At this burn rate I'm good well into the 2016/2017 burn season.
