    I think you have a typo in the first section, next to last paragraph. Did you mean 'It pays to......'?

    Gary, that is an interesting idea. Perhaps I shall give it some thought.

    Not bad, but where is the info on how to burn wet wood by drenching it with gasoline and throwing a match on it?

    Kidding aside, nice work indeed!

    This is a great write up Dennis
    I saved the whole thing into a PDF doc. and am sending it to my daughter and my SIL to read
    After having smoke back up in the house last year they finally got a sweep out to clean
    I will be going over to teach them properly how to run their stove , A Lopi Answer
    Hopefully my SIL will read the information, I know my daughter will
    Thank for writing it, I'm sure it will help them
