    We hope to by sometime next year. Chrissy and I need to get over to the Black river, her Father was a huge fan of that area for hunting and nature walks. She has some of his cremation remains needs to be respectfully placed in a certain area. Then we'll pay visits to all our friends and relatives out there.

I started the paint burn in process on my new Drolet Escape 1800. Better out there than in the living room. I have two wheelbarrows full of junk campfire wood that I will use. I let it hit 700 degrees F 4BC9E883-E8D0-43E7-8920-CB39D6005BB5.jpeg briefly today tomorrow I will burn a longer yet slight cooler fire perhaps 650.

    Very, very smart!!! :yes: I once knew a guy, who knew a guy, who warned him not to paint his stove and install it before doing that! :whistle: And, he did.... The house stunk for two years and the fire dept didn't think it was a funny prank when his wife called them thinking his house was burning inside because all the smoke was coming out the windows... :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    I picked up a hearth pad the other day. Now my son is in Las Vegas for a week. So these two items will remain un connected for a little while longer. Son and his buds are going to help me move stove into house,,

    Made the last connection with a DuraVent adjustable double wall with two 45’s should be good for cold weather.

    I have a little over 2.5 cords of oak, elm, locust, and cherry stashed in the garage and basement.
