Look at all that purdy stainless, you sure you want to ruin it by burning it? ;-)

LOL Todd maybe I'll wax it 1st.. Still mid 70's here so a bit warm to burn in but am thinking about a couple small fires to bake the paint.. Good time to do it as I am alone right now..

If you weren't so darned ornery Ray, you wouldn't be alone now.

It won't be long before a couple of those small fires will feel good but getting the initial burns done is good too. Good luck.

Can't argue with that you old goat lo Did my 1st burn today in an effort to set the paint.. Wasn't too bad as I burnt a few white pine rounds and a few chunks of Ash.. Might do this again tomorrow with all the windows open and ceiling fan running.. Pretty easy to light the new stove and I think it will easy to run once I understand its' quirks..

You're going to hell for that. Hell, I say.

Honestly I burn very little pine other than for starting fires but it seemed like a good idea for break in fires.. Looking forward to seeing secondary burn but the small fire I did I saw nothing other than regular flames..

Second burn today and this stove seems to work pretty well.. Just baking the paint and this stove is easy to run and should be easy to learn too.. FYI was 71 and raining here but MUCH warmer in the house lol...

Here's a video (my 1st ever) I did with my digital camera.. Looks like this stove will be easy to run!

Nice looking fire. Just don't burn all your wood before Fall. ;-)

Thanx Todd! Definitely too warm to run the stove! Was 72 out and 82 inside with the windows open lol.. Wife and kids didn't appreciate it, dunno why lol.. This stove seems to be very easy to use and that's a plus and great looking fire view..
