With a great bed of coals to start a full load this morning I grabbed the beautiful, well seasoned, split of oak I'd been saving for the first cold day. It was big so I put one end in toward the rear left and swing the front around to get it in the stove. Well, it was a bit too big and thought a little force would persuade it to enter the stove. NO, IT DID NOT!
Split got completely stuck diagonally in the door; no in, no up, no out, no down...nuthin!
BAJEEZERS!
Finally wedged a small split under it at the rear left, crow bar style, and freed the flaming split.
Gloves half melted, house full of smoke, heart pounding = Lesson Learned: Small fire boxes require small logs!
