I recommend you start another thread, something like "new Equinox owner needs help". Then you will get Equinox owners who can give you even more detailed assistance.
Yeah.you're prolly right.oldspark said:I was waiting for an answer on the lumber, I know she is no where near over firing it AT THIS POINT, best to stick with small hot fires to start out with, if the stove is drafting correctly you will be able to get a good temp out of a small hot fire with out the chance of getting it too hot. Only one thing worse than a small load of wet wood and that is a big load of wet wood, much more moisture to burn off, stick with a small hot fire.

The other wood is split and stacked outside. We have had trees down since last Summer, but not split until about month ago when we started researching woodstoves.
The the rain blows in on the stacked wood, how long before it dries?
I am afraid I am going to have to buy wood--bummer.
No more beech tonight I will only burn the poplar and see what I get. Should I get rid of some of my coals before tonights burn?

Well, then leave it there. No sense in moving it, unless you need the room
With this wind, the wood should be dry from the rain with in a day or two. If you have it, or can get some, rolls of plastic will suffice for now, covering the top of the stacks. Weight it down with some of the wood. At least it'll be top covered. Separating the ash and single stacking it in the wind & sun (again top covered) should help to season it.
Beware of wood sellers selling "seasoned wood". You have wet wood, so you know what it looks & feels like. Check around. Maybe some Bio/Envi bricks to help.
See, you're learning already (broken image removed)
ETA, you can add the Equinox to the title of this thread by editing your very first post.
