Well, it looks like this weekend we finally warm up. This single digit crap has burned up too much of my hard earned wood!!!! No super cedars here yet, just big beds of coals.
A little squirt of diesel fuel on a wadded up Scott towel. The towel was first used to clean the glass, so it's sort of recycled.
I should have added, I use the three day rule, clean the glass with water and paper towel then allow three days too dry prior to ignition.
Got a 72 hour burn time stove. Really, being that it's not that cold here in Georgia, I start a fire almost every morning. It's my work shop. And as I think about it, compared to what you folks have to prepare for and endure, I probably shouldn't even be here.____Wait a minute, based on the number of fires I "start" per year and I've been burning wood for 45 years, that might qualify me as an expert in the field.
