[QUOTE="Alan, post: 796282, member: 378"] This kind of hit home, as I live in the soggy pacific NW! I have cooked soups and stews on the wood stove for years, but I always kept a pot on the wood stove for humidity in the air. My last couple of water pots were tea pots with the dammm whistle, I remember the first whistled pot, it was two a.m. and I was yanking on the whistle cap with a pair of pliers before I thought about just leaving it off the stove until morning..... Dun, you just made me think about all the pots we have used throughout the years and the dumb things I have "dun" in the wee hours of a sleepless morning. :D BTW, I quit burning a slow, "air less" fire years ago, for fear of a chimney fire. Now it's always a hot fire and just build another when the house is cold enough, always thinking of creosote build up and the slower the fire the bigger the build up. Plus a chimney brush every year from the roof down, Although, I do live in a single story house..... And I probably just jinks our house this year. I have witnessed a chimney fire and it is a very hopeless feeling, you're just praying it burns out quick and without harm. Alan [/QUOTE]
