    When you open the door after 24 hours, rake everything forward and close the door after deciding it can go another 12 hours:yes: 040814 reload.jpg

    24hr burn seems almost insane, then again I don't have a cat stove and I'd probably be trying to put it out around 9-10am during the shoulder season.
    Debating about a small fire tonight supposed to drop into the upper 30's after a thunderstorm front blows through.

    Big cat stove def shines this time of year...I do full loads every time right til I stop burning, typically early to mid May.
