About a month late now, but yesterday I cleaned the Tarm and checked the chimney. After 5 full heating seasons the Tarm is now ready for #6. No repairs, no replacements, no failures. Door seals remain good. Nozzle shows some wear but still plenty of life, at least for #6. Might be time to order a replacement just to have on hand.
I brushed the black steel chimney to the 14' ceiling. Barely anything in it. The Class A from ceiling up I didn't even brush, just a very thin layer of dust, less than a mm.
Wood stacks are full of 2-year seasoned wood and ready to go, plus wood is already cut, split and stacked earlier this summer for 2013-14 season. A little difficult to comprehend heating again, given the recent stretch of high 80's weather. Then again, I already can sense the shorter days, sunsets earlier and sunrises later.
