    I don't know. Do you think the aroma would be good around the house for the holidays?

    and don't forget bacon. Everything is better with bacon.
    Going to be real chilly tomorrow, going down to -13 F. I'll be sitting 3 feet from the stove all evening.
    edit: Oh and I am burning ash and maple, could use some ironwood though....

    It's warmed up to 5 degrees (-15 Canadian)
    OWB still had plenty of burn in it, the garage stove was skinny, not enough coals to touch off good seasoned ash. A couple shovel full of coals from the OWB and the garage is warming up.
    Garage door motor went south,,gonna' have to google search that.
    Be safe out there.

    Right where I want to be.
    Woke up (at 4:30 am) to 9, it went up to 16, and it's back down to 11 right now. Forecast low of 8. Snow and wind all day, and I can't tell how much of the white stuff we got, but there's a fresh inch on the roof, so let's go with that.
    WAAAY too many coals in the stove this morning, so I've been burning those down all day. Might have that done in time for the overnight load. :dex:
    72 IAT at the moment.
