Hey guys
Well, I let me fire go out over night. I have been burning 24/7 for the past 7 days. It's been great but is also a lot of work. Load in the AM when I get up, load at noon, load when I get home from work and then load in the PM before going to bed.
I must admit that I have become obsessed with wood burning! LOL. The heat produced by my stove has been great. My electrical heating has not come on one in the passed 7 days while we endure this cold snap of -20 to -25 C every day. It's a great feeling to be independant.
However last PM I chose to let it burn out. I put smaller pieces in the stove before going to bed. It was almost a tear jerker LOL. All humor aside, I simply want to clean my ashes and see if my stove smells upon relight again.
Not to mention my wood provisions have swindled significantly. Initially when I purchased the stove, I was not planning on heating 24/7. I only had 3 cords of mixed hardwood and 1 cord of softwood. 24/7 chews into that quite nicely. Loading 3.1 cubic feet 4 times a day makes the wood pile shrink!
Anybody else let their stove go out recently?
