    I apologize to you too. There is a lot of humor here and I guess I get carried away.

    You made the right call on that one, mister!:thumbs:
    Glad you've got her involved too.... Mine has been learning too, and she gets to see lots of the posts here as well.

    Must have... I don't read any "papers". ;). Funny thing is, I wear slippers about 1 day a year, and I just happened to be wearing them right now when reading that post. Even more amazing is the fact I have black socks on. I don't think I have ever worn that combo EVER before. Talk about coincidence.

    Now for sure, Nicolas will be confused!

    Now to get really technical, what method of starting are you using? Woodheat.org. has a few good ideas on that, some here also if you dig a little. I like the "Top Down" approach but with average wood the "Tunnel of Love". Might be better... maybe take a pic just before you set a match to it tonight.....

    Doesn't really matter for all intent and purpose, except that the fireplace chimney is WAY more ptone to a chimney fire than a wood stove with a lined chumney.... which makes it even more important to make sure you have good wood.
