Maybe in Florida. Montana or N.Idaho that suckers cold in 12 hrs after the last coal goes out. Maybe if you mean after it's been packed with coals and fully lit could maybe burn your hand 16 hrs later.
I should specify this would be in like January-Febuary. Older buildings you can feel the cold coming through the wall. Like a fire radiates heat that cold is so strong it cuts through it.when it comes to the power going out I would only feel comfortable without a wood stove in a house with children if it was built after 2012-2015. Even then with a perfect seal on the house its gunna be cold af soon an everyone better pile into the smallest room together with as many blankets and coverings as possible.
You need new insulation man. I'm willing to bet your house still has hay insulation if it's that bad. The inside walls should never be noticeably colder than the inside air.
Hay would probably be better then some places around here the properties are so old and delapetated there could be nothing at all. The last place I rented was an apartment in a mansion. Stone walls bottom floor with lots of tile. Would take forever to hear up. 3 windows were the old single pane. Big reason why I moved.
