We have not been disappointed with the warmth of our Big Sky in colder weather. We have not been in single digit cold but have been in the teens. Now we watch the forecasts and work our way north as the temperatures get warmer. Our rule of thumb is that we will not go north of daytime 50 degrees F. We also use temperature to help control costs. When temps were in the teens in Ohio we burned a 30# tank of propane every 2-1/2 to 3 days. In central Florida with overnight temps in the 50's and 60's overnight, we burned a tank about every two weeks. The furnace has kept us as warm as we want, but the fireplace has helped cut propane usage.
We see about the same as you here in Florida. I keep track of propane usage and in the temps you state we burn a tank about every 3 weeks here in Florida. The temp is set a 72 degrees and we use no additional heating other than the fireplace. That is much better than our 06 3400.
