    Right where I want to be.
    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.

    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.

    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!
