I bring my stoves up to 500 deg. every time I load them. I check my chimney each fall BEFORE I fire the stove for the first time. Neither flue needed cleaning this past fall; first time there was no creosote build-up to speak of in all the years I've been burning wood. I own about 50 acres of wood lot here in Schoharie Co. and I never have to cut a live tree. My favorite wood is ironwood (hop-hornbean); after it dies and stands for a year it is ready to burn when cut. I just cut 4 dead elms (not one of my favorites) for my son's outdoor boiler. I saved some for myself and found it burns really nice. My Dad always told me that if you wait 'til most of the bark has fallen off a dead elm, it will be ready to burn as soon as its cut. I proved that the last couple of days. Ain't nuthin' like a nice wood fire to make you feel cozy in this cold winter weather. The hard work seems a little easier since the price of fuel got so high.

One of us would sit on the left fender (away from the clutch) and other would sit on the gas tank and hold onto the crankcase breather pipe.
