first burn in the new (to me) stove!

Fired up our stove for the first time on Sunday, since it was only 37F degrees out. It was much easier than I expected to get a nice secondary burn. I'm really liking this (relatively) modern stove. So much easier to use than the ancient wood/coal combo stove we had years ago!

So far it does. I'm very pleased with it.

Good for you. You can spread out there in front of it after a nice breakfast at Parkers!

If I eat at Parker's, "spreading" is definitely what I'll be doing! I've never seen so much food in one breakfast in my life.

Pissa. That is a huge viewing area. Clean glass is a testament to dry wood.

I'm glad to hear that. I got a lot of grief for buying kiln-dried firewood, with people telling me that three days in a 200 degree kiln couldn't possibly produce "seasoned" wood. I figured it had to be better than truly green firewood and it was the same price as green so I bought it anyway. It's been stacked in my yard since late August, and it burns like a dream. Lights right up, no sizzling, burns clean. I'm definitely a fan now.
