I appreciate the comments. I don't think that is as much an issue for us here in western Wisconsin as it is for you in NY. Once we get snow cover, it acts as insulation, and we just don't get condensation until it warms up late in winter. It gets cold and stays cold here for the most part.

Fill the furnace hopper from the already dried stuff down there. It is kind of like having an intermediate drying stage for the fuel before it goes into the furnace.

Flax provided the fibre which w
