Wood is stacked and available. Is it a good strategy, who the hell knows.
Happy heating season to you all!

At some point, there has to be an intersection of cost and comfort. We typically keep the thermostats at 60 and throw a load in when we get home from school, around 3. By 4/5, the house is up to 65; by the time we settle in to read, play games, watch TV, etc. it's 70+.

The "hard" days are when we have events after school and don't get home in time to get a load in the stove—then it's blanket central!
