Ordered my nanometer today, should be here the 20th, gonna let my fire go out so I can put by brick back to normal tomorrow, getting full 12 hr burns but can't keep the house pass 65 now, think I went to small with the box, this summer I'll have to build some temp brackets and make it inbetween the large and small box and I think I'll be set, excited to hook the nanometer up, I have my baro set with just the numbers on the weight which isn't accurate, but working for now to keep the beast tame

Good HB, you're experimenting, it's the only way to get familiar with what our stoves can & cannot do ;)

Just wanted to follow up about the video I spoke of earlier. On Wednesday, I had a power outage and lost a couple hours worth of video editing so unfortunately the project has been set back. I'll get on it as soon as I have an opportunity.... :)

Took my firebrick back out this morning and cleaned it out and put them back to factory spot, getting it back going as we speak sitting in front of the stove watching it lol can't wait for tomorrow to get some pea size from the father in law to see if that's gonna make any big difference, plus only got like 10 bags left, was hoping the cold weather wasn't gonna last as long but that's what ya get for living up here, hoping 3 tons is going to do it for next year, kinda thinking about 4 ton to be on the safe side
