Helps that I can't leave the house without passing the stove, but it is always my last thought before opening a door. Never say never though. Glad it was nothing more serious than a cheap lesson.

Better yet DONT walk away from a stove with the door open. Takes only a moment to completely forget.

I used to live by this rule, however my routine now is to stuff the stove with the shorter chimney (lesser draft) full, and leave the door cracked a half inch while I go fetch wood and load the second stove. After the second stove (which has better draft, and does not require me to even open the front doors) is loaded, I go back and close the doors on the first.
 
Had to go into town earlier to get gas for the 4 wheeler and before that i was getting the stove ready for the days burn..Guess what? I friggen left the damper wide open <>

The stove top was only 600f and the pipe was 400f but man it sure does give a guy a wake up call..

Double check when leaving the house gang!

Mrs loon and friends went to Cuba the other day, so i didnt have any back-up.
