Yeah, I was forcefully ejected from the One Match Club on Monday for letting the stove burn out. The last nugget went out roughly 42 hours after it was lit. I usually don't bother to light this early for this exact reason -- I hate lighting up, shutting down, lighting up again, etc ....but it was too cold last week to bear. House was 57°. Today the house was 75° with no heat or A/C on!

I attempted to shut down the Chubby last sunday. I had too much coal in there and it refused to die. It sat there at 280* from sunday night till tuesday night without me touching it to add coal or shake down. Finally tuesday night I figured it wasn't going to die and I just shook it down and added coal and kept it going.

Just as I predicted, the Harman's burning again. 32 for the low tonight.
