Most of its cured-thank goodness but we shut it down at 10 pm for the night and there's great coals in am to start it back up-but its so cold and sometimes the wood has ice on it -making it hard for it to start back up-Im a pro-been dealing with this my whole life-woodstoves and cold winter-I can start a ripping fire with a q-tip and nail polish remover
My bad, I knew you just had gotten this hooked up, thought maybe this was new territory for you. I try to keep the pile I'm burning next tarped, the chipmunks and mice love it, dry and toasty on sunny days. Just brought in a load of hedge apple or osage orange for those single digit or lower nights they are calling for later in the week. The rack on the breezeway is full of good dry ash. Have a couple buckets of ash and cinders ready to sprinkle on all this freezing rain we are suposed to get. A bucket and rope to dip water out of the cistern, feed enough for a week or maybe two, just put fresh straw down in the coop. Going to run down directly to a spring down by the river to fill up jugs of drinking water, which we do year round. Have plenty of powder, ball, and shot, short of a generater, I'm about as ready as I can get.
LOL its ok--if you looked at me you wouldnt think I could physically do much- But Im a tomgirl at heart and love physical labor! We do keep our wood wrapped up but alas-it still isnt good enough at times! you do sound like your ready for the Atom bomb!
