Had a look up the chimney yesterday, mostly clean but a few flaky things towards the top. It kind of looks like paper but i haven't burned any...
Can't figure out why the stove burns hot on the right side and almost smolders on the left. The window also gets dirty on the left. Tried...
Thanks, Billb3. i think we'll be alright with it once we figure out it's temperament.
Edyit, how do you tell the difference. They sold this as a stove thermometer.
Highbeam, no worries there. we are still in the construction phase and the walls and ceilings will close all the foam areas. On the other hand...
It did well over night. Plenty of coals by 6 in the morning. the house still at 70 and the stove top at 220. Pushed the ash to the back and...

You are right i probably shouldn't even be burning yet but i just had to try it out. It's 47 outside supposed to go to 39 and 73 inside. 70...
The temp is at about 360 now. The air intake is closed the damper is open. The logs are almost gone. The flames pop up intermittently. Shall i...
It keeps burning rather hot. closed the air intake completely and even closed the damper halfway. Added 2 more pieces of oak so I can do my chores...
Beautiful, hope mine gets there one of these days.
A dream come true. Finally fired up the wood stove this afternoon. Going to be in the upper 30s tonight. Tried the top down method 2 oak pieces...
Thanks you just gave me an idea for curry but i usually use spinach with that, never tried Kale. The veggie dish could have curry added to it,...
i got the cast iron red pot at Sams. Don't remember the brand but could probably look it up. Don't have the budget for the the really fancy toys.
