Life is good...by the by this some of that nasty ol PNW piney wood...

OMG! PINE! Get it out of there, quick. :cheese: J/K
Is that the Endeavor?

 

[Got Wood]

I'm no expert but that railing sure seems to be too close to the stove, maybe its the angle of the photo?

Nice burn. Overnight temps here didn't drop as expected here. I had the living room up to 78 last night on a 3 split fire and had to leave. It was too hot to be comfortable.

The right side does look a bit close to that railing.

BHAaaa...Pine ain't no good for burning.

And I agree that it "appears" that your railing is a bit close.

Yea, that a Endeavor, with PINE and the railing is as close as it appears, to keep the grand babies from getting into the side of the stove, has been there for 8 years, often used to dry clothing articles during the winter. Never a problem or worry...

A little better shot of it...

A couple mpor shots of the area, as you can see the area around the stove becomes "runway" from one area to the other so the fence is in place to keep the little one from stumbling into the sid of the stove, oldest grand daughter is 8, young grandson is 1 1/2 with 2 3 yr grandson so it does become a raceway, luckly the fence has never been tested, it will come down after this burning season...if it don't combust first....an thanks for the concern...

. . . until it catches on fire.

There is a reason why stoves have clearance combustibles . . . just because something has been OK for months or years does not make it any safer. It's your stove and your set up, but I know in my own case, knowing how things catch on fire and how high heat in proximity can lower the ignition temp of materials, I would consider moving the railing.

Now about the pine . . . keep on burning

Good to see the stove is at the heart of the home. It looks like it is much appreciated by grandkids and pets alike.

I love the first photo of your grandchild, dog and woodstove!
