Thank you! "Good Enough" sounds much better to me than when I tire at the end of the day, been calling it diminishing results.
I hope the additional heat she will get will make her more comfortable. She may want to turn the thermostat down..... But if she ran both at once, I was a master of that at my previous home BTW Kimberly , if you do turn down your main heat, are there water pipes on the exterior that could freeze? Just being cautious
I am looking to find some dry wood, that locust tree that I almost dropped on my head has yield some nice wood; not a lot but some. Some of it was tough to split when it had knots and I noticed it splinters just a bit when splitting. I have more dead locust trees that I will take down for the wood. The dead red oak is still in the woods; I need to get a trail for the tractor to haul it out, and it should yield some good wood.
Yes, I understand the NC-13 is a small stove but if Canadian Border Vt had not given me that stove, I would have no chance to heat with wood this winter. I still have a lot of work to do and winter is approaching fast.
I'm really starting to think that there are some serious weirdos on this forum. Not mentioning any names, of course. *looks at wildwest and Eric VW *
The NC13 is a fine stove. I ran one for about 3 1/2 years. I personally liked the wood cut to be about the 12" mark. This allowed me to keep the stacks in the stove from falling against the glass. But you'll get a longer burn with about a 16" cut, and placing them the other way, by a bit. Keep the ash levels in check, to allow maximum volume in the stove.
Don't stress about it to much just do the best you can and stay safe doing it. I guess it's easier for me to say that it's not as bad here as it is there winter wise I'm sure.
Yes, but it is not at the house yet. I have only a small bit of dry season wood at the house split. Need to get a moisture meter to check the poplar.
