Aside from the obvious.........wet wood.......
Assuming you are building a fire with dry, seasoned wood, in a fully functional stove, with a clean system, what characteristics should the novice fire burning joe/jane, be aware of, with regard to how the fire reacts to heavy rain days? How is the draft (admittedly different depending on the location and setup), affected by the heavy rain, and how should a fire be built in such conditions? Damper settings?
Does YOUR fire behave differently in heavy rain situations?
There have been discussions in here about how sometimes air can be "heavy" and can hold the smoke down, but what about heavy RAIN days?
Thoughts, ideas, suggestions, observations?
