    Like I mentioned before and am sure to mention again, the Kuuma sips firewood!

    It was a relief to be rid of the energy king. Built strong and nothing wrong with it, just needed something much better.

    I see the ad still listed...and the guy seems like a straight shooter, so I really think he'd mark it sold, if it was...but who knows...

    Or in this case, cold, and/or tired of cleaning the chimney yet again.

    I hate losing out on deals regardless if it's due to my own indecision or outside circumstances. Power washers, wood chippers, you name it. That stuff can haunt me for years :loco: :crazy:

    Maybe it wasn't truly that high of a priority. It's still warm out, after all...

    I dunno...he's created 2 or 3 threads on the matter...and contacted people asking their advice/experience, but that's been over a period of a couple years too, so maybe you are right.
    Or maybe something just plain come up and couldn't make it to the sale...I know I've had it happen.
    I had an appointment to go buy a cheap mower last week, literally a couple hours earlier my wife was offered 2 for free, just come get them (they were closer too!) So, I had to cancel on the other guy (which I had already rescheduled with once before!) I haven't touched the one yet, but poured the old gas out of the other, and it fired right up...mowed for an hour or so then!

    12 messages over a period of 7.5 years, 4 of them being in the last 2 weeks tells me he's probably as casual a burner as he is a member here. Which is completely fine; I just don't understand rehashing the same issue over and over again. I do hope he gets his affairs sorted out because it's no fun scrambling around in the dead of winter, trying to keep the house warm as you work through other problems.

    I don't think so...I met him at a GTG and he claims to have somewhere in the range of 100 cords of mostly Hickory in the barn! Which I think he was offering to sell some recently...not sure if it was standing timber, or ready to burn firewood.
    Edit: here... Hickory and cherry wood available. I have 45 acres of mostly hickory
