2:50 pm

moolingwa

that's alarming

2:51 pm

hokie carla

luckily it's 61 out so I opened a window and a door

2:51 pm

hokie carla

hopefully no mosquitos come in

2:51 pm

moolingwa

yeah, my stir fry is always a good chance to set off the smoke detector

2:51 pm

moolingwa

about that temp here

2:52 pm

hokie carla

this stove has a downdraft fan and it doesn't really work. I think part of the problem is they have a bunch of insulation stuffed in there.

2:54 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I don't have an exhaust on mine

2:54 pm

moolingwa

so it relies solely on the filter...which is to say, doesn't do much

2:55 pm

moolingwa

6OFOET

2:55 pm

moolingwa

5OFOET

2:56 pm
