You'll see a couple of sheets of newspaper peeking out. I light those and hope for the best, sometime she goes, sometimes she don't. Wood is pretty dry, so it lights easily. I'll post in the morning as to whether it went on the first go or not.....
If I loaded my stove like that the clean air agency would issue me a hefty fine due to too much smoke, ah' life in the city. They already stopped by after a neighbour complained about excessive smoke. I just loaded the stove and the clean air agent came by, fortunately the smoke was gone within one minute. We had a good chat and I don't think she will be back. I'll bet you get good long burns.
I'm sorry, but your profile begs the question...
If you live in the coldest major city in Canada, why isn't the stove burning tonight????

Because it is warm out tonight -4 °C . I let the stove go out so I could clean out the ash.
Still nice and warm in here right now.

Can you seriously burn that much wood in a Summit all at once? I've never seen a new stove operated - my parents have an old steel wood stove from the early 80s - if they put that much wood in the stove I'm pretty sure it would go supernova.
I am very interested because I have a Summit, still in the crate, because my lazy butt hasn't finished my addition yet. :red:
Forgive me if my question sounds naive. I'm stupid when it comes to new stove operation. (actually, I'm beginning to think my parents might not be burning their stove to its fullest potential either)

It is 0 in that "C" stuff right now here and the big boy is loaded and cranking. What temp do you keep that house at that you are blowing off lighting that sucker till tomorrow?

If he laid a load like that on top of hot coals you would be able to see the glow clear to your house.

68-70 but if it drops to 66 by morning it's not the end of the world. I could light it tonight, but we're headed out to a social right now.

Place holds heat a lot better than this joint.
Which I need to fix. I have been beating it back with wood heat for so many years there are a lot of places I could probably seal up better.
Enjoy the social.

Let the record show that I consider 25°F to be cold and should in no way be associated with the word "warm". That is all, carry on.
Yea, I'm at -4°C (25 °F ) on it's way to -10 °C (14 °F ) and wouldn't consider letting the stove go cold. I don't have the old girl humping, but I still need consistent heat in here to keep it in the upper 60's or above.
I wish I had your insulation.

This thread is hilarious. Reminds me, I was in Colorado skiing last week. It was -40 C or F, take your pick. I was wondering why there was no one on the slopes at Steamboat. People from Winnipeg have no concept of warm because its always cold there (No offense to the thread starter).

It must of taken you a good hour to pack that stove up. What do you do if it does not light? They are not coming out the way they went in. Damn, there is a log on the right side packed in there like a hot dog. I don't think you have any other option but burning them out.

Well, I know the summit's a good sized stove, but how big are those splits?
I only put 8 splits in mine last night before bed, but they were all about 4x6-7".
Oops, I think 1 was a 4 " round. :lol:
So, it's morning.............

Good morning, folks (afternoon for some of you). Social was good, we got in just before 3 this morning. Ended up at the bar after the social, then walked home just over 1/2 mile.
I lit the fire at about 8:45, about 1 hour 40 mins ago.
Stovetop is settled back to 745 °F
I recorded the temps every 5 to 10 minutes (long post coming)
