The stove at my previous house was on a raised hearth and was a top loader. My safety tip: Do not load a stove while naked!
When running through the house to close the primary air you forgot about,,, PUT THE SCISSORS DOWN FIRST!Forgetfullness - I’ve cracked the door and left the primary air fully open and forgotten until I hear the roar a few minutes later. Never leave it unattended.

ALWAYS put your ashes in a metal container, WITH a lid, on a NON COMBUSTABLE surface. I can’t tell you how many times we go to a house and the owner has old ashes in a plastic tupperwear container on his back deck!
Be Smart!

In fact, I think every wife should know how to run the stove and anyone else in the home who might sometime add wood to a stove. They need to know the right ways of doing things and what to watch for or what could happen if they do not do things right.
Backwoods Savage said:gyrfalcon, I don't ever remember putting the females down but quite the opposite in that I do promote you girls and what you are capable of. I fondly recall when I was plant foreman in a shop that when I started was all male. When we began hiring females the thinking was there were some jobs that would not be good to put a female on. Except for those jobs which required heavy lifting and hard physical labor for most of the time, I successfully trained many females to do those supposed male-only jobs. It worked and we opened a lot of eyes by doing this. We also proved the general point that when it came time for assembly, which called for working with the hands, we could increase production by having females on those jobs. So, you will not find me getting much mileage from the female groups, I hope.
