I know that may sound like a stupid question, but I am asking it anyway.
Once you get the fire going, first think in the morning, is it best to fill the firebox up, just as you would at night,
let it burn down and fill it up again,
or should you just keep throwing in one or two pieces of wood when ever the fire/embers get low.
Using the damper to adjust so that the chimney temperature is around 400F - 500F, measured with a magnetic thermometer
stuck about 18" above the stove.
Someone is always home and trying to keep house at an average temperature in mid-70'sF.
