Got my red cross oak fired up and wondered if pot is full or not?

Loaded with 40# of santa clause nut.

It's full when you can't see the side of the firebrick/recractory.

That's right! I'm burning stove size, if I had nut I could fit another 1/2 inch! :lol: ...you can see the top of the refractory though the blues.
