[AT] oil dry

[Mike]

Hi Charlie, I have an airtight stove as well, unfortunately it's been so 
cold here in Michigan, that I don't have the luxury of letting my stove 
burn down to the ash like you described. I need to keep in cleaned out 
every few days, so I can keep it full of wood. I know I'm dumping out 
BTU's but the coals don't throw enough heat when its this cold 
especially when the wind kicks up. If my stove top isn't at least 400 
degrees I start losing the battle. Jeez, I can't wait for Spring!
