center right was the last panel that blew on mine. center left before that.
I think I blew the outside left before that.

What brand is yours? I haven't found any identifying marks on mine.
I only have two 4" fans under the insert to circulate air. I would like to move more air on mine.

Evening DTR

Busy yesterday and most of today. Got a sinus infection today. Wife and I were gonna go out with a few friends tonight to watcha band play but I feel too much like crud tonight. Weather man says snow possible tomorrow night, monday and tuesday. Might actually have snow on my birthday again this year.

Fronty > Mine Is The Same Way > No Brand Markings >
Yea Ide Like To Move More Air On Mine Also > I Do Have A Ceiling Fan
That Helps Move The Heat Around Though >
I Don`t Think These Fireplaces Are Very Efficient
They Actually Suck A Lot Of Warm Air Out Of The House When The Fire Burns Down

I can close off the room the fireplace is in, usually set up a box fan and a couple ceiling fans to keep the air moving when I can keep a fire going. get up every four hours and feed it.
bad as an infant...
I have heard good things out of the new EPA fire places and inserts, but I have also heard they are harder to start. I dunno.
would like to have a real stove, but no room in that room.

I was thinking we were going to see all kinds of snow when we got home from what Claude was saying.

Rick, sorry about the shortround there, that snow was meant for Bob. Don't feel bad though, I've been stuck in the cold in some of the hotter places on this globe.
Good to hear you made it through okay Red. Sounds like that was a close one.

Your shotgun hit over here in D.C. too. We have about 4", lots of it melting. Making the job site a mucky red-clay mess!!!! Kind of a miserable year here, two days of sunshine, one day of rain. Had to go to wally world and get a pair of boots. My tenny runners are soaked clear through!!!!

Anyway, guess I shouldn't complain, it's 3 above at home right now with a 15 mile/hour wind. Wife is UNHAPPY!!!

Matt, bad deal on the sinus infection. I have a pretty good remedy, but it is not very pleasant. Nettie pot. They work wonders. Hope you get to feelin better. When you do, get your wife a little something to make up for the lost night out. It ain't your fault but brownie points never hurt!!!!

Gonna get real busy, was chosen as the 'Get Out Of Our House' state leader for Wyoming. Should be an interesting election year to say the least!!! I decided I should Pelosi or get off the pot.

Hope all is well, My sis made ginger snaps put a dozen or so on the counter, water is heatin up for Co-Co, and looks like the fire is stoked up pretty well.

Ya'll be good...

Thanks guys. I was smoking hot after that one. On a plus side, I did get some ride time on the 8N this morning. Made a couple passes with the back blade. Cut into my sleep time a lot though.

So Kalamazoo got shorted on the snowfall? I'll go adjust the snowshifter.

Thanks for reminding me Wyo, the wife got me a netti pot a while back but I haven't needed to use it yet. I'll have to get it out tonight and use it. Hopefully I won't feel like a big pile of Pelosi tomorrow.

Glad I help, they do work though, kinda gross, but they do work. Nothing quite like snortin a little brine to clear things up!!!

Just remember, even if you do feel THAT bad....

Somewhere out there there is a Mr. Pelosi.
