Do you have a positive mechanical lock on your damper handle position..or do you hope that air pressure doesn't work it open after you go to bed...?
I won't argue about this any more, since fire risk assessment is a personal choice / gamble that we all should make for ourselves.

My damper was manually set and reliable to stay in place. My game was a bed of fir topped with vine maple or crab apple to last the night. That **** was so hard I had to cut by hand with a pruning saw because it saved time, as I would spend more time sharpening my chainsaw blades than it took to hand cut.

Must used stuff you're talking about. A new Stihl ain't cheap.Cannonpointer » 20 Jun 2022, 8:02 pm » wrote: ↑ That is sad. But a decent wood stove and stack can be got and self-installed for a few hundred, and a decent chainsaw can be got for peanuts. I paid more in 80's dollars than chainsaws cost today in 20's dollars - they're ****' GIVIN' 'em away. What else is required? A wedge and a mallet - or maybe just a good ax?
I agree that wood heat is labor intensive, but it is CASUAL labor - that is, you can do it on your own schedule, when time permits. Burning wood builds character.

Rule one: If you're using it, you don't pawn it.
How many of my blow up sex dolls do you see at pawn shops? NONE.
If the thing in your hand is a chain saw, you can make a LOT more money using it than selling it.DeezerShoove » 20 Jun 2022, 10:53 pm » wrote: ↑ I am familiar with pawn shops. There are a couple in the area.
Just take a left at the checking cashing store and park next to the bail-bond company.
Rule One:
If you need money more than the thing in your hand. Even if you need the thing. Period.

One of my aunts had even a cooking stove fueled by wood in her spacious kitchen.
It heated the kitchen too, while cooking.
Something like this . . . but better:
