Anyone on here that can give me any loading tips. Got home at 1 am and stove was out. 8 degrees. Wood was all charred and didnt fall down into coals. Whats the key to keep would from bridging. Im using mix of rounds and splits

I have a relatively wide opening and if I feel I need to load it very full I try to keep smaller diameter, easier burning stuff in the middle and the big rounds on the sides.  I get bridging if I put big diameters in the middle of the second tier.

Thanks guys. Rhugg have been noticing that with my rounds as well

Don't "throw" it in, it should be placed in the stove basically the same way it's stacked in a cord.
