Cleaned the 16' of insulated rigid oval pipe today. Had about 7 cords of mixed hardwood burnt in the NC 13 & ended up with less than a coffee can of powder.

P.S. I'm also calling BS on NOT covering your wood. I had a couple of cords of soft maple & cherry CSS 18 months ago. It was in a 4 sided open shed 14' x 4' x 8'. The shed runs N>S & catches the prevailing wind. The wood was burning fine last spring. Had to relocate the wood as I wanted to stack only oak in there for 2014/2015. When I moved that wood it was like balsa wood. Now I have to stack around the stove to dry it out. The cherry especially soaked up the water enough to close up the checks in the end. If I put it straight in the stove, water pours out & I have trouble getting a secondary burn.
