We have a fire going tonite too. cool temps, snow in the high country. April showers, May flowers... Average weather around here though, unlike many other areas.

Heck w/the May flowers,we better have nothing but roses everywhere from this nasty April weather so far.

Not to worry Thomas, I went ahead and put the snowblower back on yesterday, so we will get mostly rain! ---------Wayne

I've never seen coal burn. I hear all about it and understand it's a great fuel source, but for the life of me, it just doesn't make sense that you can burn a rock that comes out of the earth. One day I'm just gonna buy some coal online and light it on fire just to see how it works.

Eddie, look at this thread if you want to become a believer in burning coal.

We had a fire last night, and another this morning. Our spring can go clear through may though and it doesn't take much arm twisting to light up a nice wood fire in a very large Lopi insert. We love to look at it and feel the heat, better than TV. Anytime I can prevent the electric heater from turning on I have saved some money too.
