Another Whoops!

[BrotherBart]

Since folks like to tell on themselves here when they screw up I thought I should fess up too. Thirty minutes ago it was time to load the 30 up for its journey to sunup. I had just come back in from doing something outside in the snow and didn't do my usual thing of hanging my down filled vest on the back of a kitchen chair. Selected the splits for the load, opened the door out straight into the room like always and started my push the ash and drag the coals routine. When I started smelling the unmistakable smell of burning polyester and feathers. The open vest had caught on the end of the latch rod inside the stove door and was doing a good job of adding the vest to the night fire. :red:

The stove is loaded and cruising but the place smells like somebody set fire to a duck in a leisure suit in here.

I wonder what the BTU content of down is..

Haha Now that made me chuckle as soon as I read it. At least you didn't have flames rolling off the vest!

Sorry to hear about the vest, but glad that was all that happened. Ya'll be careful with these fire boxes. We want you to hang around a bit.

When I first got our stove I burnt the heck out of my arm on that inner latch ...but I think once is all it is going to happen.

I branded my right hand on that latch last week.


Makes me think of Chuck Connors :coolsmirk:


Glad you didn't incinerate yourself, BB.

 

[rottiman]

Glad to see that you didn't "DUCK" the issue when confessing LOL

 

[LLigetfa]

Eider way, what's done is done. Time to fluff it off and get down and dirty with some duck tape.

 

[NH_Wood]

Time to switch to Kevlar.......Cheers!

It's funny how an everyday routine, as simple as they are, goes astray when one thing changes. Kinda like looking for your glasses when they are on your face. I feel for your down vest

The Mighty Casey has struck out :lol:

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Didn't your mother tell you to always take care of your clothing?

 

[Battenkiller]

I wonder what the BTU content of down is..

Probably not much, but that polyester.... that's a different story. Burns hot and completely to just CO2 and H2O. Imagine the secondaries someone would get if they tossed Barry Gibb on a hot coal bed.

Wow, haven't even THOUGHT of that show in I don't know how long.
BB, at least you weren't wearing it at the time. That woulda' been pretty ducked up. :roll:
