Tuesday Night cold. I lit a fire. The plastic wood bundles were bought from the Mobil station in Riverside on the Post Road. My fireplace has two shields of protection, a weaved metal curtain and two folding glass doors.
The burning logs fell around as their shape changed. Something I didn't notice happened. A familiar noxious burning odor became obvious just near the fire. Something must be burning outside the fireplace? I had a water spray bottle nearby and sprayed the rug with a mist of water, I thought the rug was burning dude.
I noticed a piece of charcoal on the plastic that wraps around the firewood. It's in this photo in the upper left of the plastic area just under the wood. The dark thing there.
Here it is in a close up withe a ring of burnt plastic around it.
So may I suggest to be carefull. In this photo there is a metal curtain barrier between me and the fire...it does not stop everything.
The shapes are always changing like clouds but quicker. Do you see anything familiar or interpretive in these shapes?
