Ash Bed Notes

A notebook of one small wood stove: how long a scoop of ash stays hot.

Notes

Shorter notes kept alongside the fires.

  • The glove stays by the hod

    · kit

    The glove is no use in a drawer. It hangs on the hod so the bucket can be lifted while it is still warm from the last scoop.

  • Timeouts and budgets for a fire

    · timing

    Lighting the stove has a budget of fifteen minutes. If it is not holding by then, open the draft fully once, then leave it. More poking only spills ash.
