Fill your stove with wood
« on: February 05, 2012, 08:22:29 AM »

Wonerding if is a good idea to fill the stove with wood? The weather has been really mild here in Kentuckyand i have noticed that the stove is working very little. I filled it 3/4 of the way one night and didn't check that morning and went on to work. Checked it 24 hours later and it still had some wood in there but was very black like it was a charcoal. Is this good to do or not?

I just try to learn and adapt to the stove I'm using and don't put much more than I think it will need in at a time..

 You will have less problems like overheating or creosote if you load it as needed. I normally load what my furnace will burn in a 12-18 your period.
