Nice, your gonna be needing more wood, more wood!!
I think I saw that bug on top dancing to the Bee Gees.

Yep,
I should have 11 or 12 face cords for next year, that should be plenty as I don't see me burning both all the time. I need to split about another 2 or 3 to be more than good for this fall/winter. Man that Olympic is a nice stove with seasoned wood, I can see why most people don't buy the ash pan, it seems to leave less ash than the Summit, but I am sure the burn time will be a little less....that's OK :smirk:

I'll take Molsen Ice please or Labatt's :coolsmile:

Yah this stove pretty much rocks, I am a little "burned out" for fires right now, spending lots of time splitting, but I can't stop burning because I love this stove. The Summit deserves a nice break though

I spent another 300 and bought Simpsons double wall inside so it looks really sharp, finally!

Who are you trying to fool? Your going to get greedy and burn both stoves just to see if you can get your house up to 100 degrees. Get more firewood. :lol:

How often has the Summit been up to 700 degrees? Maybe that might have something to do with the ash accumulation?

You might be right, after this coming Fall/winter I should be able to compare both better.

Already got the Florida room to 101F this week, with windows open.....First time I have seen that gauge that high in my house. I will try for 100 on the thermostat this fall/winter :cheese:
