Furnace explosion

During our stay in Sartell, MN, we rented a house in the country that had a wood burning furnace. In one of the final months of our stay, during a particularly cold stretch of winter, when we heard a loud rolling rumble and kind of a large bang. it turns out our furnace had backfired and blew black, greasy soot all over everything in the whole house, including things in cupboards. We had to wash, and dry clean everything in the whole house - curtains, carpets, clothes, furniture --what a mess!
