First fire

 At 4:32 p.m. today, with inside temp at 66 and overnight low of 44 expected, a match was struck to light the first fire of the season. Decorative birch comes in over the spring to make for a lovely arrangement by the stove.  This is the first wood to burn, along with the pictured kindling and shards.


The firebox was quickly ready for the match.

Twelve minutes after the initial flame, extra wood increased the stack temp to 580 degrees.
