    Yep, if you have a stove, get an IR, proper stove top thermometer, proper pipe thermometer, and steel a big OLD pan out of the kitchen to keep moisture up in the house :D

    It certainly does, but not bad this year. And the lake keeps us insulated to a degree

    That's the beauty of it, not all oak or anything fancy like some folks got, but it all burns. And it's definitely not a struggle to find wood :yes:

    That's right, but pine burns good if you let it dry and pack it real tight:dex:

    You'll be amazed at how you can run a fire, once you start monitoring flue temps. I run a flue probe, IR gun, and a gauge on the side.

    Similar situation here, except only 70 years LOL, with the same result when we bought this place in late 2012 and using less than 20% MM for 6 months. What we did not realize is the slammer put in somewhere around 2000 plus burning unseasoned wood during the previousv 50 years = :hair: I Hired a guy that scraped out giant chunks of creosote, all the creosote chunks ended up laying ontop of the slammer stove. Dear Husband went back through a few more times after slammer was removed and many more creosote chunks fell down. SPOOKY stuff for sure ripe for a chimney fire! All of you PLEASE check your pipes and or chimneys.

    @ Keweenaw, Nice that we had that bit of a warm spell, no?

    Probably those dang flying squirrels exacting their revenge on you....

    Thanks for the thoughts, bro! Been busier than usual the past couple weeks. I think things might be settling down now. (Did I just jinx it?) :rofl: :lol:
