I went away Thursday at 5 am. I stuffed the insert before I hit the road and turned the damper down. Came home tonight and I still had a few amber's when I stirred the coals.

As wiser(than me) voices has said before on this subject - those embers/coals can stay hot for a long time. Always good to remember when disposing of them.
hh: and hope it's far away from anything burnable.
I did that once after they were sitting in the ash bucket for a day. I don't need to tell you what happened.

Why are embers in a bucket now? If you are throwing out embers, you are wasting heat.
Very little amber's, any big chunks I saved. The big chunks were out so I guess anything that stayed lit burned down.

Why is that? I burn it hot most of the time. Execpt for this 4 day trip it only burns down over night. I will get up there and check it out.colebrookman said:

Chimneys need to be checked....always and often. Especially for new wood burners. Do not put it off too long. I like to recommend monthly inspection for anyone new to burning wood. It is necessary.
