I just have to brag a little bit on my Fireview please. Last Saturday night I put some wood in the heater and let the fire go out until last night(Wednesday). There was enough coals left in the ash that all I did was add some pine knot and kindling and it set in to burning again. All I saved was a match but it was just hard to imagine that it held live coals for that long. That makes me feel good everytime I think about.
