First year burning i have put 1 cord of pine and 1/3 cord of ash through my Kuma. With the weather and work schedule I am often cold starting. Going to have the sweep out next week but curious what you all think. The larger pice is a fluffy bit of ash I sometimes get them on the ground outside completely soft not hard and shiny like creosote.
