Our stove fired up for the first time
I did it! I’ve started my first ever wood burning stove fire. Granted…I do have a fire extinguisher handy in the event of any issues since I did fix this on my own after all. The only mistake I made when I lit this was not opening up the flue(?) (whatever it’s called that allows the smoke to exit through the chimney. So the room got a little bit smokey….other than that it’s lit up nicely and it isn’t as cold as it was down here.
This was mostly a test though, it was 65 degrees upstairs in the house when I lit this….I’m going to check on the temperature throughout the day to see how it goes. Also, this is only 1 log that I’m burning….the real heat should probably come when I get more and more into this.
Also….I wanted to note that a landscaping company up here has generously volunteered to deliver a mason’s truck of split seasoned firewood to me FREE! He can be sure that next year I’ll definitely be buying my firewood from him!
