    We started burning yesterday (if you pair paid attention you may have deduced that from me taking pics in front of the Drolet). Before bed I gave it a half load and closed the primary down to about 30%. This morning it was still 65 in here with hot coals, so I half loaded again, opened the primary and bypass and left the door slightly ajar and very shortly the fire was going again. Waiting for it to come up to temp yet, but it is nice not having to start the day with a cold stove.

    Haven't even lit a match in mine yet. I'm still holding out in order to save wood for the really cold nights. It was a bit chilly, but not too bad.

    Crazy drop in temps here too. When we left central PA for Ohio yesterday at 4:30am, it was in the 70's here. Got to Dex's and it was 49°......then it snowed and sleeted!!!

    Got back home last night at 10:30pm and it was down to almost 32°!! So I fired up the NZ3000 and did an overnighter in her.....slept on the couch, it was so cozy.

    Still had coals in her at 8:30pm this evening from a small morning load of wood so I put some maple and a piece of black birch in......I'll throw some white oak on at bedtime.

    The Buck's going again here tonight with a few little ash and cherry splits, some red oak going in soon. If the weatherman is anywhere close to being right, probably the last load for about 10 days.

    No you got the ole Buck, I got the new Buck.......I'm sure I paid more of a buck for my Buck then you did for your Buck, in 1982 a buck went farther when purchasing a Buck......still a lot of bank for your buck either way.:D
