Saw my neighbor today....funny thing....he said...your husband told me you got a wood stove this winter.....what I can not understand is..."Why don't I ever see smoke comin from your flue pipe?"...Apparently he burned wood many years when he was younger....when he asked me that....I responded...."Good fuel and a darn good stove....and a lot of help from the folks at Hearth.com....."...Thought I would share that because as a newbie and the stove is gettin shut off tomorrow....well, I feel good about the knowledge I have learned.....I have come a freakin long way and am thankful....guess since he never sees any smoke...musta been doin something right......oil tank gauge has not moved in months......and our footsies have been very very warm all freakin winter......Just wanted to share...Thanks to all....
