Been doing the same here Pete. Was using some Ash kindling, but moved into the 2 year old (I think) Pine. I got up late today, about 9, and it was still only 34 OAT. Coldest it's been so far.
Nice going, Pete. It's going down to 36° overnight and we may get to do the first burn. It's a cold damp 50° right now.
It's starting to drop a little, it's 53 out now, should be a perfect night to start a fire and have a beer and watch some football. The jotul been treating me good but I also take care of it as well.
I do this for her.... I do this for her.... I do this for her! Who am I kidding I love saws..... Now I just need to clean them before I go dirty them again!
It's about 53 here now and I am taking full advantage to move the smoker wood to a different area so we don't Accidentally use it again I forgot to tell her last year!
This morning's fire is still going. I did try to take a picture for you good folks but it is too light in here and too much reflection in the glass to get a decent picture. But, there are no flames, as usual. Cat glowing nice and red still. House feels really comfy too. I don't think we had frost this morning although it was predicted as possible but another chance tonight. I think we got to 36 this morning.
My local Menards didn't have the 2 brands you mentioned Pallet Pete . this is all they have. Thanks again. Can't wait to try it.
Pellets are easy to light with a match. Just take some hand sanitizer, (not hand soap) and mix it in with some pellets. Light it, and you have fire!
