First fire of the heating season!

Had to do some re-gasketing to my 1996 CDW Vermont Castings Seneca wood stove. Hasn’t been that cold here in MA so far, but know it’s coming. First fire is an open damper short burn to condition the stove. I’ll do one more, then bigger burns. Got 1.5 cords ready to go.

Moderate fire, cat reading 1100. Perfect!
