    :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.

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

    First fire Sunday AM. Six chunks... three good ones and three punky ones. Just needed a little help to get us going from 61F in the house in the AM.

    Second fire Sunday PM. Two maple splits, 3 good chunks, 2 punky chunks. Held us overnight to this morning, and we still had 67F in the house even with some wind.
