Internet/WiFi 🛜

We have fast 300+ Mbps internet/wifi service throughout the house. The network name is 110 Ludwig, and the password is wildcat110 (all lower case, no spaces.) The wifi is always on and you shouldn’t have any trouble connecting. You may notice that there’s a wifi extender in the primary bedroom beneath the nightstand to ensure good coverage downstairs too.

Snow Removal 🌨️

The driveway is professionally plowed when there is more than a few inches of snow. If possible, please park to the left side of the driveway when pulling in when snow is forecasted so the plow can push snow toward the woods. Shovels and sand are provided for the steps and to clear a path up to and behind your car (the plow can only get so close.) Please understand that during larger storms there may be several hours between plow visits.

Wildlife 🐻

During the spring, summer and fall months, black bears visit often. While they are timid and won't bother you, they are wild animals who should be given space and are always on the hunt for food. Don’t leave food or trash outside, keep the front door closed and cars locked

Firepit & Woodstove:

Instructions ⚠️

Fires are dangerous to homes and humans. Please read through this entire section, and recognize that you are responsible for using the firepit and woodstove safely. If you have questions, let us know - we are happy to help and would rather you ask than run into a problem!

Using the Firepit 🪵

• Go to nh.burnsafeamerica.com and click “Obtain Permit”. Select a daily “1001 Category I Fire Permit”.
  (Note - you can do this anytime, but not more than 48 hours before the date of your burn.) 
• Enter the required information including the start and end date. The address of the burn is 110 Ludwig Strasse, Bartlett, NH 03812.
• Let us know and we'll send you written permission from the property owner to have for your records (though you won't be asked for this when getting your permit.)

• Locate the hose on the side of the house so you know where it is.
• Start with 2-3 logs and add more as needed. Use small logs as kindling or fire starters - do not burn paper, cardboard, etc as it creates flying embers.
• Make sure the fire is completely extinguished before leaving the firepit area. Do not leave a burning fire unattended.
• The plug for the overhead bistro lights is located on the front of the shed.
• Please be mindful of noise (especially after quiet hours begin at 11pm.)

Using the Woodstove 🪵  

• Firewood can be found on the hearth, under the deck, and behind the house. Lighters are in the kitchen drawer.
• First, make sure the damper handle (on the top left side when looking straight at the woodstove) is in the horizontal position, and the air intake (the small metal lever on the back left) is in the open/left position. Load the woodstove with 3-4 logs using the left side door.
• Crack open the sliding door to create a draft up the chimney. Light the fire and watch it for a minute or two to see that the logs are catching. (You shouldn’t see or smell any smoke coming out into the house.) Once it’s started, shut and lock the door, then reduce the air intake/temperature control (small lever on the back left that you first opened).
• Every surface including the white handles will quickly become hot. Use the provided gloves before touching anything.
• If you need to re-open the woodstove, FIRST be sure the damper handle (top left) is in the horizontal position/parallel to the floor, then slowly open the left side door. If done incorrectly, smoke will billow out into the house.

• The damper handle (top left white handle) is used to control the speed of the burn. If you want the fire to last for extended periods of time, turn the damper to the vertical position (perpendicular to the floor) and this will recycle the smoke within the stove for a longer burn. Do not re-open the woodstove with the damper handle in this position.
• The temperature control for the stove is the thin metal lever on the back, left side, of the stove, and is used to make a hotter fire. Turning it to the right closes the air intake, and reduces the fire temperature. Turning it to the left opens the air intake, increasing the fire temperature. (After adjusting it will take a bit of time for the stove to heat up or cool down.

EV Charging ⚡

There is a Level 2 (50 amp) EV charger on the side of the house that you are free to use throughout your stay. It is equipped with a J1772 plug which fits most vehicles. Teslas will require the adapter that came with your vehicle. Just plug it in and you should be good to go.
