What is the right approach to warm days and chilly nights with radiant heat

One doesn't turn on the heat until November or later. I just throw on a log or 2 and then I have to open the windows. I have never turned my main floor heat higher than what I set it for when I'm not there (52). That is the good thing about a stove, great insulation and the proper Pella windows. Yes, I sell and install that brand.
