Agreed this wind is just biting... Especially when the heat in my monte is very poor I've never had a problem with dry wood, but i have had problems with wood just not burning for whatever reason.

Speaking of remotes. The one on the Monte sucks big time. It will work if your with in 3 feet. My truck used to work from 50 ft. New battery in the remote. If I keep this car thru the summer. Its going to get a good remote stuck in it

i'm about ready to just close the stove up and walk away, i've been here nursing it scince 8:30.

i'm suprised to hear about your heat not being good in the monte, mine was always very good, usually it seems like mopar's have crap heat, ford's are like being in the 7th level of hell (not that i'm complaining), and GM's are just about right
