Just replaced one elbow and a short length of smoke pipe so I'm ready to go.
The weather looks like it's going to slowly go downhill for the next couple weeks.
It might be time....
Today Might Be the Day

I think this is the first season I didn't have to replace all the pipe from the stove to throat plate. I only had to replace two elbows. And the only reason I had to replace them is because I tried to adjust one and I crushed it.

Yes, but I usually clean the ash out of them then spray them down with LPS3. They still rust. Last season I didn't bother cleaning them and left a layer of ash and they were fine.

I have run the EFM for heat a few times, usually in the morning. Burning black walnut in the Fisher insert now.
