    My neighbor was able to help out on firebox size. Most all of what I burn is rounds. I try not to cut any trees that I have to split. I like to keep it no bigger than a 20" base.

    I have the same OWB.

    I'm curious as to what your neighbor did to the firebox?

    I was referring to you giving out the firebox size, thanks neighbor. Its a stock OWB, I have not had it ported yet. Not sure if huskihl ports boilers or just saw.

    I don’t see any firebox size. Is it 6,7,8 cu.ft.? What is length of rounds you can put in?

    -10f, clear and sunny. Our chilly stretch continues. We had light snow all day yesterday with minor accumulation. Looks like the stove will need a reload in a hour or two.

    Firebox     - 50"L x 36"H x 30"W Door - 23"W x 23"H --- It was on post #33580 Yooper

    The longest I have cut was 48" but mom and the kids were having trouble loading them. Dropped down to 24" then 20" and settled on 18" and we stack 2 deep and a wall sideways to help slow the natural draft down a bit and extend the burn times.

    Looks like one more week of cold rain, before a week of springtime temps. Had freezing rain again this morning. Fortunately it’s not cold enough to cause Texas size pileups.

    We are usually the cold spot of the area (lucky us) but this morning, the radio had near 10 degrees cooler than us.



    Odd.......99 thought the indoor/outdoor thermometer was pooping out!
