That my repeated efforts to douse the fire in my woodstove this morning
failed . We got unexpected temps in the upper 60's overnight with this storm
, and it was up to 85° in the living room , so I squirted water on the fire
trying to put it out . Several times . I finally gave up , even though it
was still going a little . I didn't want to get it so wet in there that I'd
have problems getting a fire going tonight .
Well , now it's starting to cool off , and I've just added some wood to
the small glowing embers that were still there . If I've got my timing right
it'll be going good when heat is needed ... and not before . It's always a
balancing act with this stove when temps are between 40° and 60° , it's
rated for a much larger space than we currently have . That's about to
change ... if the weather ever relents and lets me finish the cellar walls
(cement block) .
It'll be interesting to see what the official rainfall for the last few
days is , my estimate is over 3" , closer to 4" . There's that much in the
open cells of my partially-completed block walls .

We have a nice wood stove in the back of our house, too. When we first
got this one I'd end up making the fires too hot, but after getting used
to it I can start a fire pretty quickly, and regulate it with the flu.
It heats up and maintains the warm temps so well that we only use it
when outside temps get into the 30's for longer than a few days.

No argument, you do know how to start fires.

Why the attack ? Seems that you just can't leave certain people alone
whether they be a troll or not when they post an on topic response . I
haven't seen anything posted by "Muggles" that is deserving of this kind of
treatment . If there was a problem in another group why not just leave it
there unless it becomes a problem here - instead of forcing it to become a
problem here with your sniping .

Well apparently you don't , so why did you bother to respond ? Have a bad
day at the sewage plant ? Wife cut you off ? Or are you just a common
run-of-th-mill prick that has to constantly stir up **** ?

the mortar cured properly.

Yes , and we're looking at a hard freeze this weekend . Lovely , just lovely

warming" .

Up here in Ontario we are having Sept/Oct weather - warmer here than
in Pheonix on Monday.- High teens C (70-ish in F) with only one hard
frost do far.
