    #2 If stove does not blink,grind,flash or smoke,grab a beer(or other adult substance) and make sure it is plugged in.

    #4 90% of all stove running problems can be fixed by a thorough stove and exhaust cleaning.Guess I will stop now as appears we have stepped on someones idea of how they want us to live our lifes.

    #5 Clean stove and venting for summer,esp. in humid area.Ash holds moisture,can cause/promote rust,and helps keep smells down on damp windy days.

    #8 Just when you get your stove all cleaned and serviced for summer temps will drop 20 degrees and will rain for 3 days!

    Seems to be the case with my wood stove too. I don't get a creosote smell unless I clean out the stove for the summer.
