Good morning!!!!

Burn your stove hot and don't try burning green wood and you will have no problem with cresote. Potato skins will do the same thing.

Around here you can’t burn the stove hot all day, everyday, not cold enough, I didn’t burn green wood either, I was raised with wood and coal stoves, so their operation is no mystery to me.

As for potato peels and aluminum cans, burning a chunk of styrofoam will also clean it like new. The latter two are quite toxic though.

I haven’t had a wood stove in about 30 years.

BEF- Good luck. My late Dad was an insurance broker and estate planner. He set himself up a fancy Living Revocable Trust with me as the executor to avoid Probate. The Trust was essentially set up in PA & FL. Unfortunately my Dad died in CT as a CT resident and I as executor still had to go through CT Probate Court to settle his estate (Trust). It was a legal and bureaucratic nightmare. He was too smart for his/my own good. In theory everything $ should have automatically rolled over to an estate settlement account (w/o Probate) for disbursements. It did not happen so quickly nor easily.

Each State is different with estate settlements. If I remember correctly and I am trying to forget some States have different regulations based on the estate's value.

Yes, you need to keep it updated with where you live. But that’s a good point I hadn’t thought of

Living revocable trust, not living will. Although that might be involved also.

Trust is to avoid probate. I need to go back and look at the old draft to see what I didn’t like about it. We had a trust and wills drafted, maybe even a medical directive. At the time our kids were minors, so situation has now changed.

It’s what I have on my mind. Need to redo my will. I have a Lady Bird deed on the house. That’s about all there is for kids to get rid of. I need to call my lawyer to make sure things are up to date.
