Thank you Ronbre
A while back I post re: my wood stove making things too hot. You suggested I was heating backwards- lighting a fire in the morning and letting it go out in the evening when it got too hot.
You were spot on- I have now developed a routine where I wait until the temperature goes down to about 62 in the house during the morning/day before I start the fire. Then keep it going with the last stoking up at bed time.
It works perfectly for me. The house is still warmish in the morning so I don't need to start the fire right away and I miss the "too hot" times by sleeping in my colder bedroom.
This forum can be such a great resource.
