Deleting old messages...just came upon this gem. Yes, fires must be tended. After heating with wood for over 30 years I can relate Jeremy. So I sent Phil info about a workshop someone posted about starting a fire in the woods with just one match. Phil shot back with, "I can start a fire with no matches and no paper." He collected birch bark, dead wood from some trees, and his ferosium (sp?) rod. Dug a hole in the snow and made it happen. Can I tell you he loves a challenge?😄
So did you replace the pellet stove with a wood burner?

Yes, we did! Go Phil!
Good for you. Now you can keep warm if the power's out!
