    You load at 9:30 and wake up at 5:30 to this! :) I am amazed I honestly don't think that has ever happened with this stove before. Usually it's all coals and hot as can be but there isn't wood left just a monster coal bed. The house is 68f! Nice to wake up too.:thumbs:

    Ok the truth is I woke up at 4am and reloaded the stove and spent the rest of the morning on the recliner by the stove:)

    Sounds like this thread has gone astray. On a serious note that is a good burn. What kind of wood was it. I burn alot of elm and can almost get that in my old Sierra. :)

    Yep. Waking up in the morning is always a bonus.

    I have a patient who, when I ask how he's doing, always replies, "I'm looking down at the grass and not up at the roots."

    Over 90% of the time
    If you are having problems burning
    It's the wood.

    Good dry wood, has been & is
    the key to good burning

    Something Pete now knows.
    Dry wood is good!

    I've known that for a long time Dave lol but I had the theft of almost 2 years worth of dry wood last year and battled through winter on mediocre wood. Its great getting back to dry wood again!

    Many think it's all hype.
    Something you have to experience , then it gets put in the
    "Know" section

    Much different than :
    I think, I've been told, seems logical ..... Etc
    Experience burning a few loads of good dry wood,
    then you know there is a huge difference. :)
