Thought is was finally cool enough for the first fire. Did not want to chance poor draft. Just 3 small sticks got it to 200, air intake left wide open and putting out some nice gentle heat. Think our wood a bit damp from the recent rains, got to get them covered with tarp. Should have went to the barn for te drier wood. So far so good.
Was getting smoke from the chimney - is that because if is just burning at 200?
