Both the price and the weight seem a lot nicer than my Ideal Steel. I'll be very interested to get reports from people who get these stoves to see...
I just got RSS article from Woodstock about something called the Survival Stove that they say has been beta tested a bit. I figure there's a...
This is what I've been up to this week: [img]20170625-1.jpg by Ty Williams, on Flickr
Thanks guys. The B&W ones are actually shot on film. Of course, the one of the underside of the train bridge was shot on color film, oops. After a...

It's 80 degrees today and I'm ready to put the stove into hibernation for the summer. What do you guys do to plug/block/seal the chimney during...
Turns out the ash that ended up on top of the ash pan lid when I pulled it out of the stove last night also had some embers in it the size of...
Well, my stove was very naughty tonight. It set the ash vac on fire!
I think it's really awesome that Woodstock was able to engineer a self-closing door for these stoves! Light the fire, put the door on the...
Brand new stove and I already have problems with the ash pan door/gasket. Initially, it stuck to the stove itself and half peeled off the door the...
Well, when you can get most of your firewood for the cost of the work you put into it (like most of the guys on here), nothing else can compete...
The bricks are compressed hardwood sawdust. Hardwood, in split form or in sawdust form, has a pretty consistent BTU per ton. The reason different...
On straight price as a full-time fuel, assuming you have the land to get 3 years ahead on stacked and drying, no, the bricks are not worth it. If...
The bricks do seem to be exponential. 2+2 equals about 16 with them. For my stove, 8 bricks seem to be the tipping point. 10 bricks loaded E-W in...
Well, I don't think we'll be having another miracle burn tonight. Snow squalls are blowing through and I do mean blowing! I've got a 40" DBH aspen...
The temperature was maybe 5F warmer than the average for the last month, so not that different. More tellingly, we had secondary flames all the...
Yeah, the stuff TSC sells that is made here in Ohio and has ENVIRO stamped on the side. We got a hell of a deal and bought a full pallet (ton) of...
Well, I have no idea what I did differently, but the same loading of bricks and wood I've been using for the last several weeks still has coals...
Hmm, should I tell my wife she's an animal according to you? :lol: A week or two ago she stood over by the fire warming her backside for a while...
I cleaned ours for the first time (about 1/3rd-1/2nd cord burned) last week during a warm day. It needed vacuumed badly as it had some clogged...
