    Light leaking Jotul - orange stripe below top plate

    Jotul is pretty good at replacing warped top plates, btw. I think you'll be okay. Good observation about the bolts/warping theory. It is plausible.

    How fast can you light a fire, with the least amount of firestarters?

    I use 1-3 pieces of trash mail and pine/red maple brush that are all over the woods around my house. It's all free and works fantastic. Recycling.
