AND you study the color / density of the saw's exhaust to figure out the oil-gas ratio.
Two miles away is just about perfect. I hope you find a good mixture of species there and NO willow... 40 acres, that's a find!
No, but could imagine a stronger draft causing that. Is it colder outside than for your other burns? Stronger or different wind direction?
The clue showing that the combustor did its job is no smoke from the flue. The burn you describe is what I consider the Holy Grail of running a...

EXCELLENT !!!
Another excellent BL score, nice catch. The Fiskars should fly right through it.
Surely you will have OWBE this season. Outstanding Wood Burning Experience.
Watching a wet split of redoak dry over time, just by the dark color retreating from the surfaces, I came to the unscientific biased conclusion...
Thanks, My IS. The schooners and color choice (both standard from WS website) were chosen by my wife. Another reason I look forward to having the...
