    Welcome neil_s. There is a lot of good resources here for you to work thru. We would love to see any of your inventions you have come up with in your wood hoarding journey.

    I did forget yesterday as I intended to mention about those closing the draft when fire is going. That is not normal nor is it good. It is still best to have some flame and that requires some air, so don't shut the draft off.
