    I use Miss Prissy's basic recipe from the BYC forum. I have tried a few different recipes and incubating techniques, but have found this one works well for us.

    Stirring your flour

    I store flour in a container and when transferring from the bag, I'm sure it gets stirred up. The container is refilled frequently. I do whisk the flour and other dry ingredients once measured for muffins, breads, pancakes....... I'm curious if this would measure out the same. Just might...

    Just throwing this out there..............something else to consider when heating with wood is that not all wood burns the same. The type of wood and how hot it burns can make a difference when trying to calculate for wood.
