Hey, that' pretty neat! I have a question. I was wondering if it was going to melt the snow on the ground around it, but by the time it was really going it was dark. Did you see a melted circle around it? If so, I'd love to know how big it was, and if possible, how quickly it did that. Thanks!

Haha! Nope, more curious as to how quickly the area around it get hot enough to melt ice. If I did that, it'd be more likely to be used to melt ice for water, or something along those lines. I don't have a water source up on the mountain yet, gotta bring it up there. Last year, they were covered in four feet of snow until sometime late in Spring. Hah! Wish me luck building. Bloody climate change. That's not normal up there.

And I might add, that's a not-even-half-baked scheme, the melting idea.

Amusing thought:
Sitting on ice, making rocket sounds. Melt melt melt--SPLOOSH!! fizzle sizzle.

It probably took 15 minutes to melt a 3 foot radius around the stove. The temperature was about -8 *C. I've learned to be careful of what I put it on, as I've had frozen concrete explode under it as the moisture in it expands.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. I'll be away from concrete, but I'll be sure to watch for the shrubs (well, duh).
