    I've never heard of chaulk. Just chalk. ;)

    If you click on the link I had earlier, from an Alaskan source, you'll see that the reason they are sometimes called snow machines is due to people being from foreign countries.

    Last time I checked, Alaska is a United State.

    I guess Massachusetts is no longer part of the United States then.
    Who knew.

    Nope Alaska is defiantly a foreign country, matter of fact the last one still nice to Americans. When you look at shipping there is a reason they don't ship to Alaska and Hawaii, not in 'Merica anymore.

    8 here, supposed to bottom out at -10. going to bring in a smidge more wood, and start looking forward to the weekend. Long drive for work coming tomorrow, so I took off the plow.. Then it dumped two inches in about half an hour and blew the other eight from last night back into the driveway. :headbang:Not putting it back on now! Just gonna have to leave in 4wd. :)

    It just costs more to ship it to the non continental US. I was just in Hawaii, and I didn't need my passport.;)

    2 degrees here in southern ohio. Got home to a tepid home. I started a fire and have been mercilessly burning pine splits in the morso 2110 to maintain at max safe temp. My goal is to get the house as warm as possible before I go to bed. The stove only puts off useful heat for 4ish hours. Either need to wake up in the middle of the night to reload or wake up to a cold house. The one saving grace is I reinsulated the attic this summer (glutton for punishment.) However I did not know of firewood hoarders club 2 years ago and bought a stove with very little knowledge. I signed up for a woodstock catalogue earlier this week and will leave it laying around the house for the wife to inadvertently see. Stay warm all.

    Yeah something that is at least 2 cf. Im heating 2600 sq ft with my 2 cf stove although I would like my next one to be a 2.5 cf as the smallest. I can easily go overnight with mine and thats burning good softwoods. I looked up your stove. Looks nice but with a small fire box. How big is your house?

    My house is 1080 square foot cabin on slab. The first 16 inches is on block. Currently we close off 2/3 of the upstairs. When I open the closed off doors inside temp is in the 50s. 1.1 cubic foot firebox is silly small. I want a fireview, it is about 20% more heat output and twice the firebox size. My largest gripe with the morso is the firebox size and consequently burn time. Otherwise it is a looker and when it is running full throttle it puts out serious heat.

    Yes, that's what we call them, to those that understand that we're not talking about toboggans. ;)
