Marty S said:You can do that, but if you really stink,
it'll just smell like you're trying to cover up
your stink.

Aye,

Wood Duck said:If I am not careful, I get a whiff or two of smoke out of the stove when I reload. This is enough to allow me to smell it throughout the house (except that now I close the door of the room with the stove, and if smoke gets out I open a window until the smell is gone). Anyway, do I have poor draft or is it typical for a little smoke to escape sometimes on reload?
I don't like the smell of smoke in the house so I am pretty careful. I don't think the house smells of wood smoke at all.
Battenkiller said:GAMMA RAY said:I have a bird, they say not to burn candles or those wax things, so I stopped years ago but miss the nice smell.
Did not know that. Is that a conure in your avatar photo? We have a maroon-bellied conure named "Dickens". We light candles, burn incense, smoke cigars (boy, do they stink up the place), etc. without a clue that they could be bad for the bird. What does it do to them (if that doesn't seem too stupid to ask)?
I don't get the stink thing, even if you burn garbage. The smoke goes up and out the stack if you're doing it right. Only the neighbors should know if you're burning tires in there, and they will let you know in a hurry.

That can also happen when the operator forgets to open the bypass before the load door. Oops!BeGreen said:I've been in houses where you could definitely tell they were burning wood. Almost always it was either an open fireplace or an older stove with very poor draft. When draft reverses in the cold flue and the chimney becomes an air intake, it leaves a really ugly smell in the house.
pen said:I wouldn't let that locust go to waste. That is a lot of BTU's there. If your stove is working properly and you allow it to season (as it should) you won't have any problems.

Marty S said:If you're not stimulated to trade your old wood burner up to a wood/coal burner,
try this. Get some anthracite (about $5/40 lb bag).
Put it under millions of tons of pressure for millions of years and you'll have
* graphite.

How can you pass it up?
