I was paranoid of leaving the house to go to work, or going to bed with the stove going. But I was determined to beat this fear because I didn’t want to use my propane furnace; I wanted to make a real attempt at burning 24/7. I feel really comfortable with my stove and the good burning techniques and advice that I got from this site helped me tremendously over the years, and I can honestly say, I have not turned on my Furness yet nor do I plan too.
I’ve read on this site people calling there phone number while at work, and if the answering machine picks up, they knew there house was still standing. I took this one step further and setup a web cam that I can access from anywhere even on my cell phone. It has the ability to pan and tilt and has audio, so I can see and hear my entire first floor of my house including the stove anytime I wanted. For me the web cam made a huge difference in feeling comfortable, it was nice to be able to see and hear what was going on at anytime when I was not home to attend to the stove.
And guess what the stove does when I’m not at home?........ The same thing when I’m at home!.
