One of the best jazz tunes and performances ever. Dexter Gordon sax and Donald Byrd trumpet. Fabulous. [MEDIA]
My daughter, now 39, loves my Donovan collection. She caught him at the Calvin Theater in Northampton Mass a few years ago and said he's more of a...
Love the pics! Congrats on becoming an oldtimer. Wait, you might be a bit young for that title but you know what I mean. The beauty of hanging...
With the "Storms" we've had down my way, just below you by maybe 15 miles, there is down wood everyplace begging to be cut up and carried away....
I always take the 2nd exit, going south into the park, then up the winding hill with the water on the left, around the rotary to the lookout...
I ride my motorcycles around and over to the Quabbin quite frequently. It's a great ride for me not too far from where I live in Ashby. I just...
Yeah, that work stuff. I try not to do it as much as I can, still seem to have to do more than I want. It's just a pesky thing.
Great picture! You are getting there. I think I said, it takes time to get to know the stove.
It doesn't hurt to close the cat too soon, all it does is choke out the fire, and it might not even to that if you still keep the draft wide open....
I think some of what your dealing with in a reload like this, after a long overnight burn, depends upon a couple of factors. The heat of the...
Yep, now you're getting in the groove. I'll bet you were getting nice heat too?
Well, I've only done it a few times, but it hasn't seemed to make any difference to the cat. Don't do it if you have a roaring fire going on,...
I've posted pics like that of my Fireview. The AS is a hybrid design, where the secondary burn plates of below the cat which is above them. The...
To each his own. There are lots of guys here who are experts at it. The key is to get ahead of the burning season by a couple to three years....
Takes time to refine a whole cycle of a full load burn. Then it takes time to come up with a daily regimen of 3 or 4 burns to take you through a...
It sounds pretty normal that the stove is getting that warm, even with the draft control at its minimal setting in the first 1/3rd of the burn...
First of all, welcome to FHC looks like you've been here a while, but I haven't seen you yet, so a belated welcome. Secondly, I don't own a...
I'd say doing a break in fire, putting in no more than 4 or 5 splits, and making sure there are air gaps here and there between them. I sometimes...
They will make it right. What I have found is the two magnetic thermometers, one on the top plate and one about 16 inches up the flue, together...
Ah, the other issue there, beyond drilling the shield, is the length of the probe. I think that there are 10 inch probes. So the current probe...
