It's a little early yet...I don't usually fire up the wood stove until mid Nov. or so...but I put a new gasket on the door yesterday and the directions said to bring the stove up to 500 degrees for a while within 24hrs to cure the glue so I fired it up this morning. It was only 38 degrees but the dogs immediately piled up in front of the stove and we stood around in front of that fire drinking coffee and warming our backsides like it was Dec....LOL I let it go a little too long and ended up opening a couple of windows and I'll be sick and tired of feeding the beast by March but that first fire of the year sure feels good...
