Typical weather reporting, yesterday it was 3 to 6, today it 8 to 12, tommorow it will be 18 to 24 with a state of emergency declared, press conferences to tell us to how to behave, grocery stores will be cleared out, then the storm will hit and we get the 3 to 6 or less! I think the TV weather guys get kick backs from grocery stores and hardware stores.. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haydendavid380 759 #31 Posted January 30, 2021 80!? Inside? The windows would be open long before in. I keep the thermostat at 65 with the bedroom vent closed so it hovers in the 50s while sleeping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I keep the thermostat at 65 with the bedroom vent closed so it hovers in the 50s while sleeping. My oil burner stat is programmed at 70 from 6AM- 10PM and 50 from 10PM to 6AM. It never runs when I am firing the wood stove. The fan over the wood stove only forces heat to the living areas and keeps them at 70- 72 when the stove area is 75-80. The bedrooms are never heated they stay at 50 -55. The stove evaporates about 1.5 gallons of water / day keeping the humidity at a good level. The stove area is great for drying wet hunting cloths and Regal Red paint. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,045 #36 Posted January 30, 2021 If you're drying linen beige wheels do you need to use a different type of wood? 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what works best on the beige Bob, but hard maple works great for Regal Red on a fabbed up axle bracket/ weight support. Maybe try Shagbark Hickory or go with the Apple if you want them to smell nice. The side benefit is it covers the slight scent of paint thinner in the house. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haydendavid380 759 #50 Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) About 28° this morning. Picked up about 9" last night, and put the little 8hp that could, to work. It's crazy what these little tractors can push. I haven't managed to get stuck or stall it out yet. Edited January 31, 2021 by haydendavid380 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
