Just finished giving the insert a good cleaning, lubed up all the moving parts, swept the chiminy and hit the stove with some stove bright paint.
Their is still 3 or 4 weeks before i will fire it up.(up to mother nature of course)
Hope i didn't forget everything i learned last year.

Me too (newbie burner, install just completed)

I had a fire yesterday, but the temps came back into the upper 60s F, felt like we were at visiting somebody's grandparents house

First year follies

Can you tell me what did you use as a lube ? I need to put something on my latch.

graphite powder works well.

Thanks begreen. I have some in the shed. Will try tomorrow.
