    :rofl: :lol:

    I've had plenty of fires in stove but getting tired of always starting a cold stove. But soon the fire will be going 24 hours a day.

    It’s nice when the stove no longer gets cold. So much easier. My first fire was last night in my Morse. Stoked it before leaving this morning.

    Dropped the first match of the season in the Kuuma tonight...have had a few fires in the lil fireplace stove already, and burned a couple gallons of fuel oil too, but it was time for some real heat today

    I’ve had a few fires, burning up some substandard firewood.
