Hey I confirm what timusp40 did rejuvinates the combustor to almost like new. I used half-water-half-vinegar solution and brought it to a boil....
Around here we see silver maple large branches snap off where it grows on the main trunk. Sometimes a load of freezing rain ice overloads ‘em and...
It will be 2 years minimum until the HL is dry enough to burn so we let mother nature & wind & sun to do their magic.
A near neighbor had a honey locust removed by pro’s. They were going to haul away & dispose of the logs but I offered $20 for them to use their...
You didn’t say that the main door was open when you opened the ash door? Doing ash door while the main (loading) door is closed makes it into a...
Good plan, Highbeam. We burn the chunky monkeys first because they’re on top of the stacks. Usually get about 9 days burning out of ‘em.
Has anyone received a replacement radiator that’s PAINTED? The two previous radiators were bare steel, not painted. Just got a painted radiator....
I tried all the previously listed things with some success. Then came across a process written by Sud-Chemie (they used to make wood stove cats)...
That happens sometimes but not always (flames near the cat canister). You see, there’s another small fresh air source just for the cat (rear panel...
I’m resurrecting this thread to pass on info from Woodstock about the tadpole gasket. Seems there is now a re-designed bypass rod which holds the...
This burn year is the first time in 25 years of burning we ever used any hickory in the wood stove. Man oh man, this stuff competes with white...
Just to close off this lost conversation and provide final comment - I got the new gasket, replaced it again (previously replaced Sept. 2019)....
Where the tadpole gasket goes around the corners (particularly the front corners), it lays higher - causing the whole sled to sit higher & exhaust...
In January 2019 golf66 posted the same difficulties replacing the gasket, for the same reason I did, and the same tough process replacing it....
I hope to get ideas on how to replace the IDEAL STEEL " Gasket For Sled Assembly/Bypass Tadpole Gasket" AGAIN. I made the mistake of replacing it...
Mulberry trees and bushes spring up spontaneously here out of control. The last thing I would do is plant another. The roots spread widely so...
I figure my chains must be magnetized because they are drawn right to the places in firewood where the iron metal things are hidden.
Nice score. We love working and burning ash. Since we are real near ground zero where the EAB started, there are no large ones left anymore.
This elbow 4” dia. was cut off a lively tree in spring. It doesn’t want to die. Curious, never saw this happen before. [ATTACH]
No, smells like fresh split poplar, but it’s certainly more hard/dense than poplar. Yup, the neighbors are used to seeing Gark out sniffing...
