    Love our stove, have had it in for about 4 years. Haven't used the electric furnace since.

    Yes, welcome to FHC!

    Yeah, we love pictures here. What kind of wood do you burn? What equipment do you use to harvest the wood?

    We usually burn oak, some hickory, soft maple and tulip poplar. We have a 029 Stihl with original 12" bow for the smaller stiff, a 362 Stihl with 25" bar. We have a 31 hp Kubota tractor with loader for moving logs and recently got a 7'X12' dump trailer.

    Yep, my wonderful adventure sharer for 30 yrs. She is one hard working honey. She drives the Kubota and runs the 25 ton Yard Machine wood splitter. She said I"m easier to work for than Wal-mart. Couldn't do it without her...
