How's Your Yurt Handling The Cold?

[Zelig]

This is our first winter in our 22ft Groovy Yurt and so far it's been fantastic. We've had some issues with

moisture

but seem to have fixed that by pre-drying all of our firewood in our sauna. We're in northern Ontario but this has been a relatively mild winter with no prolonged cold spells. Our coldest morning was -35C(-31F) and the temp inside stayed in the low to mid 20's (75degF) through the night. We heat with an old Stanley cookstove that weighs about 700 lbs, so there is a lot of mass to store heat. It is rated somewhere around 33k btu's but we're not working it hard at all and only burning low btu content softwood. This has been a pretty enjoyable winter and much more relaxing than listening to a furnace suck money out of our wallets.
