So here the question:
Wife and I have had a fake tree since we put the wood stove in three years ago. We (read - she) want to have a fresh cut tree this year and have no better place than to put it in our family room where our Jotul Winterport is located. It can get warm in our little family room - no real open floor plan. I am wondering what others' experiences are with fresh cut Christmas trees and wood stoves located in the same room. How long until you start worrying about tree drying out and what not? How close is too close for a tree/stove relationship?
Thanks all.
