    I don't take any thing other than an anti inflammatory, Celebrex was tearing me up, and because I had esophageal cancer I cannot let my immune system go down! I fought for two years with it, (cancer) and beat it. I was "VERY LUCKY" and blessed by God for my recovery. I have to fight and suffer some days and thats just life. I am on four different meds including a cholesterol so I just get pain killers and Motrin for the flair ups, I can't do much else Chief. One other issue I have is Gout, Thats bad enough!!! :(:(:(. I would rather be shot than have that when it comes on!

    It is for sure. About 450 #. And when that baby gets heated up it puts out a lot heat for a long time. :thumbs:

    Thanks Chief! It's something I've learned to live with. I also am not as bad as some folks I've seen but it still hurt's, "you know that all to well"!!! My Father had it so I guess I'm carrying on the tradition. :( 26 years of military didn't help much but I'm retiring very soon so then I can do things on my terms.

    "Smoke Dragon" is a term that describes the operator of the stove not the stove itself. :handshake:

    Yes sir, I think that is more of a factor than the stove, for sure. At least with my old Buck. I can make it smoke and creosote, and used to. But not anymore.
    February and my flue is still clean as a pin. Used to have to clean it in January every year 'cause the crud was getting pretty thick. :hair:

    I love my old stove (in shop now) never had much creosote in the chimney for 30 years and it puts out much more heat then many of the new stoves.
