Up in Smoke

After much anxiety, the wood stove is finally functional! After a delay of two months due to frequent inclement weather, wrong parts, and some procrastination we'll finally be able to heat the cabin with wood. What a relief to finally have that project completed. We performed a smoke test by burning some newspaper to check for leaks - it all looked good. Tonight we'll crank it up with firewood and see how well it performs. There are a couple of variables to consider: what will the comfort level be like given the size of the cabin, and will the chimney/roof interface leak due to rain/snow? We'll know the answer to both within the next 24 hours as we're expecting rain tomorrow.

The chicken ladder was much appreciated
