So been reading the post on shoulder season and punk wood etc. so my first question is what does each really mean
As of now I have been having some day temps in sixtys and overnite temps high 30's to low'40's - been burning towards evening and using wood that though seasoned isnt the best looking pieces. I had two dump truck loads delvered and sorted out all of the stuff that wasnt good for stacking or just was hunks etc
I get my Woodstock Keystone up to 300 or so with the cat on. Had one big fire and roasted the house - otherwise it keeps our 100+ year old house at around 70 and its a big house
noticed not alot of smoke coming out of chimmeny and when I engage cat the stove pipe temp drops
so anything look odd or bad - let me know
