The first fire in our new woodstove. (New is such a loosely worded term in this case since we've had it for over a year and a half, first just inches into the front door since it came home on the back of the pickup during a snowstorm, but at 400 lbs Pieman and I could only slide it so far, then sitting in our cloakroom. Then it was installed with the chimney reaching through the ceiling into the attic. And there it sat. For a looong time. Now it has been fully installed and certified for insurance purposes. Finally a fire. It's going to be a cozy winter!
