My wood stove FINALLY got installed today! Yay!
I'm doing my first break-in fire now, I got it started and drafting no problem at all. I did a piddly little kindling fire to warm the flue up, and got a large kindling fire going up to 300, and now I'm letting that die down. DAMN these fumes are awful!! I sat in front of the stove as long as I could to watch it and then finally retreated into the bedroom and have the window cracked. Giving me a serious headache. Sort of ruining the ambiance for me.
Will post pictures soon as I find my flippin' camera! It grew legs and ran off again. I was up until about two AM finishing up the grout and making it all purty and then started today scraping it off and getting it all clean. It looks real nice and even my skeptical husband said that he liked how the room looked with the stove in it.
