Just getting home from work since Tues am, 5 Spruce are in the stove lit off yesterday mornings load the wife did. Pretty mild last night around freezing so the house was only down to 68.

So, loaded the stove this morning ready for a cold start. Mostly oak. Only had a couple faint coals left from 4pm yesterday. Was out snow blowing and my wife came out an hour or so later and said you know the stove is going right? I said no, I never lit it. It lit up on its own and was at 600 STT when I checked it. Goes to show you it doesn’t need much to light dry wood. Glad she was home! Never thought in a million years a couple faint coals would light, especially from 18+ hours from
The last fire on a tube stove.
