Active since 1995, Hearth.com is THE place on the internet for free information and advice about wood stoves, pellet stoves and other energy saving equipment.
We strive to provide opinions, articles, discussions and history related to Hearth Products and in a more general sense, energy issues.
We promote the EFFICIENT, RESPONSIBLE, CLEAN and SAFE use of all fuels, whether renewable or fossil.
I usually clean the ashes out on Sunday but did it tonight, the coals in the back right are from last nights fire. The ashes in the pail are for one week of burning mostly cherry.
Last year being our first year burning wood I used it more early on because I didn't rake the coals forward at first. This year we burn down the coals and use it once a week.
