My 8yo son was looking over my shoulder when I scrolled to fordguys picture and seen the text "I'm still learning". He says "that's pretty obvious". Kids gotta love em.
Criss cross applesauce is how they teach kids to sit cross legged today. It's good for sitting, bad for loading the stove.
Channeling my inner rdust on this. Finally got cold here.... ready for some good heat output.... Ash and BL.
So you have rdust somewhere.....inside you.....? How ya been bobdog2o02? Edit: I know what you mean when you say, “ channeling”........
Tonight's late night load Oh well, flash was off. It's stuffed pretty full. For our second negative degree night in a row.
Trying something different.... been building up a lot of coals the last few days... so instead of putting the big blocks on the side... I put the big block in front of the dog house.... see how that response...
Yeah it sure appears as though you overchooched one too many times and your reactor had a meltdown. Momma said don't turn it up to 11!!!
Just looked at it ... Its still straight, no warpage... Thank good... I was trying to think about that all afternoon at work...
Beech and honey locust. stuffed. Ugg flash didn't go off. Here's the pic before, I stuffed a 3" diameter beech log in the upper left. That did it.
It's tougher to do if you have a heavy load of hot coals. Which, coincidentally is when we load our stoves so full to combat the bitter cold. I have to wear my grilling gloves to load on a hot bed of coals, whereas if it's not so cold out, you can let the stove burn the coals down longer and it's not so hot.
I brought in some bigger splits today so couldn't do all NS. Mostly red alder with paper birch and bigleaf maple.
