    Just reloaded, it hasn't been active for an hour or 2
    The door is still open stove top was just over 100
    The blocks retain heat and release it slowly.
    During peak burn these reach over 300 at times, least the bottom layer can. IMG_20250121_214410.jpg

    Actually,update since I just redid the setup earlier today I didn't realize how hot the rear layer of these blocks can get.
    This is during peak burn while right before I dampen her down IMG_20250121_220257.jpg

    Cold, super windy with gusts. House is mid 70's, have on my normal flannel shirt house jacket but changed back and forth all day long with long sustatined gusts that suck heat out of the house. Giant blob snow drifts formed over the 1.5-2 days so WWW's using my truck, not worth digging tall drift so he can get his truck out just be drifted in again the next morning. Hoping for spring to some sooner than later.
