  • We have a woodstove and twice we had the smoke start filling the room, what the heck did we do wrong? lol We are afraid to use it because we dont know what causes it

  • Smoke filling the room is a common occurance when the chimney is cold. it is important to start a small HOT fire, get the chimney warm, which in turn starts a "draft" or "draw" going up and out. Always keep a window fan handy. Watch this video again and I hope it helps.

  • Like the music. My dad loved the big band music. Hearing it reminds me of him. Thanks for the video.

  • I wonder if you could spread some cooking oil on top of that fine wood burner you have there and fry a couple of eggs on it in the morning while you're sitting there poking at it to adjust those burning logs just perfectly in place. I loved the music with the background. Just brings it all to life. Great video.

  • i wish i had a flamethrower... i am about to cry cuz i cant get those fucking logs BURN!!! i have old fked up system that barely feeds the fire with oxygen.

  • i love making a hot roring fire with knling

    than fill up the stove with large split locus logs

  • helo do you burn pallets

    the thick oak wood pallets

    thay burn very good and hot

  • where did you get the firer starter?

  • Good video Joe,
