I humbly suggest that if you replace the flywheel, you also replace the gear on the starter that engages the flywheel. Been there, done that.
Indeed! At least when you have a splitter (or access to one), you can set aside a few easy straight-grained rounds just for hand splitting and...
Oh yeah, absolutely use kindling here. When I see a new house being framed out, will beg small framing ends from the guys and split those down...
Nice take, Mmj-. About half what we burned this last winter was white oak and I rate it "super-duper".
Sheesh, I was gonna say 'congrats, Uni' but now say Oh man, sorry to hear that.
I looked closely at the cells of both IS cats before even using them. The cells looked to have wrinkles or bulges down through most of them. I...
A friend who burns a Dutchwest small cat stove works at a cabinet shop and has unlimited access to beautiful cutoffs (1" thick boards). He says...
Very cool. Thanks!
That's there too, but I see a sawtooth waveform of reducing duration, higher amplitude and steeper slopes. What goes up must come down. Anyone at...
I will report doom & gloom here, so hold on to your hat. Google DJIA then S&P500. Now expand those graphs out to maximum. See a trend there? 'Nuff...
We get temps same as you show, measured in the same places. Have no flue damper here. I get white smoke (or maybe it's water vapor - I'm still...
I'll use soft wood kindling unless the next layer is going to be some black locust. We find that BL is reluctant to get going, even when it's...
Yup, the right side is stronger fire for startups and restarts. The tiny EPA air jets have almost no effect with the adjustable intake mostly...
Hello kalo4 It may be wrong but this is how I installed my 3-12-1 probe. It is placed with the gauge upside down. The end of the metal stick is...
Dumb question from me on this - would there be any kind of anti-seize compound to put on the threads? Or would that be a no-no with dissimilar metals?
Pertzbro We poured Thermix down between our single wall stainless pipe and the masonry it runs through. Thermix is made for doing that, I believe.
That is downright impressive, Dave. And you moved it all and stacked it all with one lonesome wheelbarrow apparently. Crazy!
That's a good story williaty and I have to say that it's not the first time that a Subaru has been strained beyond its intended limits but just...
Maybe you already looked, but check if the air intake sliders are opening/closing (sliding plates)seen on the bottom of stove, left side. The...
Those "cat flames" are fed by the cat-air supply I described earlier. All part of the IS magic show. Cool, huh?
