So arrived at the cabin about two hours ago. First thing I did was to turn all the lights and the kerosene heaters and then put six eggs in a pot on the stove to boil for tomorrow’s breakfast and lunch
around that time frame I start smelling what smells like wood scorching so naturally I freaked out started sniffing around the cabin hoping it was not a wire somewhere shorting.
Shut off the boiling eggs continue to look couldn’t Find anything and eventually the smell went away so just now a whole hour later I found out what the smell was. It was my homemade handle on my pot it was burning. I replaced the handle when the original bakelite handle broke and repalced it with a piece of hardwood. Being that I have other pots that have wooden handles I figured it would be OK… Not really![image.jpg image.jpg](https://diysolarforum.com/data/attachments/213/213048-07f68d920fbc43f775b821ad8579815c.jpg)
Here’s where the smell came from.

Ok enough to make me twitchy after reading some of the latest problems others have had![Cat with tears of joy :joy_cat: 😹](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f639.png)
