This is my Christmas present...to myself. Even though it's still 50 degrees outside, I couldn't help but shirk the oil furnace and the pellet stoves for a Christmas fire!

Used 3 splits of super-dry ash for the first run, plus some kindling and 1/2 a super cedar puck. Got to cruising at 550
. Reloaded after 90 min. or so with some ash, yellow birch & red maple, which was cruising at 600
within 10 minutes with the air shut all the way down. I could easily get used to this - so much quieter than the pellets too!
