Well, I went to fire up the stove, and I went to remove the container (actually a throw-away plastic stemmed wine glass, all I had handy at the time, I had jammed it between the tines of the pseudo-logs) of Damp-Rid that I had put in over the summer. This is the first time I have worked with this product...
... and did not know what to expect. Instead of the 3/4-cup of granules that I had poured in, now there was a solid mass in the bottom of the glass, and 3/4" deep layer of water on top. Normal?
Anyway, the stove is working fine, and a good thing too. A little over a week ago we had our 31-year-old A/C system replaced, and the job was botched. One thing they had done was remove the old thermostat and all wires leading to it, then only hooked up the A/C and not the boiler, I pointed it out and they re-hooked-up the wires. Apparently not well enough, Friday evening we turned it one an nothing happened, good thing we have the pellet stove as a back-up.

inside!). Even got the boiler fixed; the A/C install team really botched it, could not figure it out, I had my boiler expert come out and found that when the A/C team re-attached the wires to the thermostat, they got the wires on the wrong terminals. I never want to rely on only one heat source ever again.
