Yep. Well said.
The 'lil 2550 Encore we have is completely different stove than yours. It ROUTINELY glows on the exhaust hood (internal stove part) and I used to...
So it's 13f. and no colder predicted overnight. This goofy stove will overburn with more than 4 splits in it, so the night-night load is two fat...

Nice haul, LP. After seeing the pic 006.jpg, remember all the books so long ago about "pyramid power"? They claimed you could put old worn out...

Heheh, that monster split in the bottom center is cool. Ya might as well just throw a whole tree in your stove. Just guessing - is that mostly red...
Clean from above because it easy access and ya can get a good look at the worst part upper....

I had to do a double take look at those pics and then it hit me -- NO SNOW. all we see here is white everything. Even the stacks look buried in...
Yesterday was 38f. and today a whopping 40f. So yesterday I had to rake a path up the roof to the chimney, knowing that today's warmth and sun...
