Wood is in the shed, flue cleaned, stove wiped down and glass cleaned. Ready for another season. I skipped flue cleaning last year because the year before we only had 3/4 cup of soot. This year after 2 seasons and 5.5 cords burned there were 2 cups of soot and sote. It was just a light bit of brown soot for about 80% of the flue. Most of the sote was accumulated at the top 20%. The firebrick is still hanging in there. There's a hairline cracked brick in back and one at front on the side, but overall still very serviceable. The glass has a very light haze which is almost not visible except when the door is open and looking from the backside. I am very pleased that the paint still looks good. This was a concern early on after having the two beautiful Jotuls in blue-black enamel, but it was unfounded. 11 yrs old and it still looks good.
Gonna get cold soon. Winter is coming. They're talking snow in the mountains this weekend.
