Fuliginous

Dark and sooty. The DDW Challenge word for today. This is the inside of the pellet stove we use for heat and atmosphere (mostly heat). It has its benefits but one of them is not the constant hum of the motor as it blows out the heat. I am looking forward to shutting it off for the coming warmer weather. This is after about 72 hours of burning.
