My first burnable material - lathes from the old walls.
Here's a glimpse of the flames. I still can't verify for sure how good the draft will be. The small amount of newspaper was a-roarin' but the lathes never really took to it. I need to get some good firestarter blocks.

I'm sorry if you've already mentioned this somewhere, but is your stove new or antique (beautiful in any case)? I ask because if it is new you will need to season it. Otherwise, the first roaring fire you get going may crack the stove.
Our last house had a wood stove, and I loved it. Now that winter is on the way, I'm really missing it.
Anyhow, it looks great, congratulations.
Hi John-
Thanks for the compliment. The wood stove is an antique, built in 1899. However, I appreciate that information regarding the cracking. Any comments or suggestions to help avert disaster are most certainly welcome.
This stove is brought to by the letter N
Hi Ernie-
That took me awhile, but once I figured it out, it brought me many a laugh and much joy, Just like the old days. Maybe I should start watching your show again?
Very, very nice. I can't wait to get mine in the kitchen working. It ain't going to happen this year.
