I went back to my old way.  The new way absolutely DID NOT work.

I tried loading in the morning and have the wife and or teen check it during the day when the wind is high.  I should have said check it and load more in it when you check it.  I have come home 5 or 6 times and temp was down around 120 or 130 and should be at 180 -190. 

Old way is load the crap out if in the morning and hope I get home in time to refill before it gets too low.  Is it strange I think college is making the kid dumber than ever? 

God, please have mercy on us as this new generation takes over.  May you bless me with the knowledge to create an app to remind the moron to put wood IN the owb and accept that THIS is what keeps the house warm.  Forgive my unending cussing at how lazy and stupid these kids are now. Amen.

We got -30 c. here in Central N.Ontario.
I'm using more wood now in the 4400, but a heaping wheelbarrow lasts 14 hours, easy.
If I want it to go longer I just put in a few more sticks.
And I could never get my kids to do a good job at anything either.
Ends up, like they say, if you want the job done right ya gotta ..............
You don't say the kind of wood your using .??
Gotta be all hardwood in the dead of winter.
