follow up to Kent Rosebay burning biobrick

Here are the picures of the Kent fired up last night. I dont know what the low outside temp in eastern Mass. was but she kept the 420 sq. ft. room at around 73 with the cieling fans on reverse. The rest of the house was in the high sixties. This is a new stove for me this year so I hope to find its optimal efficiency soon. Its also my first time using "bricks" too. Let me know your input and/or advice on the stove or the brick or both. Thanks. Go Sox!

Thanks. I think I should invest in some gloves to stack the bricks. Once you get the three "starters going its impossible to get them near the back of the stove. My hand is already hairless from last night. If I keep it up I'll have no fingerprints. Hmmmm......... maybe I should carry on without the gloves.

My wife thinks i am more insane than usual. Is that common with woodburners? She tried to start a fire and was unsuccessful. She said it was probably because she didn't stare at it like I do for the first 30 minutes. I laughed my butt off. I am like a deer in high beams.

they also sell bigger sized bricks for larger stoves. I might try them. Basically comes down to more mass more burn time.
