    I haven't done much with wood all year but got a lot done today! Filled the rack, loaded our small rack in the garage, and had our new stove installed!! Went with the Kuma wood classic which is massive compared to the little Lowes stove we had..lol.. 20171020_105410.jpg 20171020_143009.jpg
    Couldn't wait to see it unboxed!

    I believe my old one was 1.8 cubic feet and this one is 2.3. The Kuma is a lot deeper so I can load north south whereas my old one was east west.

    20171020_182815.jpg No joke.. These 3 splits would have almost filled my last stove loaded east west..lol.. I can see there's a huge learning curve so I'm playing around with it tonight even though it's still like 60 out.

    Looking good. I like your new stove and you have your wood right there next to the house so it is easy access. Very nice.

    Congratulations on the new stove. It won't be long now before you'll be using it a lot.
