I dug up around the parameter of the house to expose the stone foundation. Went down about two feet deep and the plan was/is to re-mortar and...
No wood used, yet. It is a combination of buying four portable heater and a mild fall. The electricity usage is an additional 40-60 per month for...
No stove moving! Two years in a row, third year without a new stove. A new record! Finishing up my attempt to close out a lot of draft from...
I would prefer it staying 60 until March, if I had a choice in the matter.
Well, looks like I start burning next week. Sustained highs in the 40s.
When the 30 is rolling along with the air shut and the stop top at around 700, my glass does about the same thing. It burns off as the burn cycles...
I would definitely go larger than the F3. In regards to the low burn ability of the Fireview; It is a very controllable stove. This depends more...
I am interested in this thread to see how it plays out. I have been looking into a pellet add-on furnace, but I am not against a wood add-on. I...

Currently -4°F. -18°F with windchill. Supposed to get windier as the night goes on. So, wouldn't be surprised if we end up around -25 with...

This is like 80% of the wood burners in Southeastern PA.
Appreciate the alert, but, the Fireview won't fit in the kitchen fireplace, and the Fireview doesn't have a big enough firebox for the other two...
I know it's not split, but assuming it is out in the sun avoiding shade, would the heat that the metal generates aid in pushing out the moisture?
I know what you are trying to say, but I don't think that saying works well when it comes to a insurance for a home fire...
Usually it happens around March... I think. I'd really like to swap out the Encore this year. That is the weak point of my setup, but it will...
Can you remove the gold trim on it?
Also, to put it in perspective, the VC Vigilant, which is a Pre-EPA "smoke dragon" had a claimed 63% efficiency. I can tell you, without a doubt,...
I think you are putting far too much importance on the claimed efficiency numbers and are poorly using them as a direct comparison to performance....
Yeah, the stoves have been running well... for VC stoves, at least. I have been burning mostly pine this year and saving the hardwood for...
