If it gets to 12 by morning then I say Matt has a new career as a meteorologist and stuff.

Good morning!
My 30 year old furnace has not run the past two days. The wood burner I placed under the trunk line has kept the whole house at about 73˚ consistently, even over night. It functions as a gravity furnace using the forced air ductwork. I leave the basement door open to function as a cold air return, but I plan to connect the intake on the woodburner's shroud directly to the furnace's return.
One unintended occurrence was that when I got home from a meeting last night, the furnace fan was going, even though it was turned off at the thermostat. Turns out the plenum got warm enough that the limit switch turned the fan on, which, unfortunately, does not work well with this system, forcing air in reverse down through the woodburner shroud rather than to the whole house. I have a removeable steel panel I use to separate the woodburner from the trunk line when I want to use the furnace, such as tomorrow when I finally make my way into the woods in search of deer. My hunting buddy has been too busy to go this year, and I relate to that in previous years.

Take care, be warm.

7 here this morning. WTF

I heard last night that somehow a certain part of KC was predicted to get down to -1˚ overnight. It was 19 out this morning, and the house a quiet 73˚. I think the stove heats the house more evenly than the forced air. I like this.

The unit is a Ram, the name is cast into the door of the iron stove. Seems a good unit, with steel fins on the sides, and a lift hook on top, which is good because it is so heavy. A galvanized shroud with an angle iron base structure. It is working better than I could have expected.

Good morning y'all

 

[Hinerman]

Yep, it is cold.

 

[BrettL]

Was hoping the shattered glass would stay in place for me to deal with later on, but the first opening and closing of the door brought it all raining down. Double damn on that.

Duct tape! So many uses

Yup, never be without a roll.

And, mechanic’s wire, vice grips.
