Colder here. What's your temp? What ya burnin?

Looks like it worked

Haha yeah I messed that up when I tiled it.
Forgot about it till now.
I tape all my connections on outlets so still can't shock themselfs

 

Cleaned the glass! Load of ash in the Fireview.

There's a spacer and a 5/8thmetal plate

Snowing, wind just over 30mph, but at least mild temps of mid teens for a low tonight. Vapor fire just got loaded (about 1/2).
