Hey williaty - there is another air intake on the IS other than those fed by your OAK. (Actually two more). The air supply for "cat air" is...
Our IS (just started the third year of use) now has the Condar item code 3-12-1 cat probe. Had to grind down a smidgen of weld bead where the...
I voted, before the WS gtg. Just started the IS third year and I couldn't be happier with the stove and Woodstock customer service. Regret that we...
This thread leaves me nodding my head. The wife has been wondering what to call my condition and now I know it is COF (cantankerous old fart).
Good job, HDRock. I like the way you pile the chunks in pic #3 - neat and orderly every step of the way.
Not sure how little your stove's cat needs to function, but for our last two cat stoves there seemed to be a lower limit. It takes some...
That's a worthy find. I recall past posts where a few hoarders (including me) have stopped or u-turned to pick up a single round laying by the...
Soon as I saw your post, an old Kenny Rogers song played in my head: Know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away, Know...
Hey, Jeffrey - you're almost an 'Indiana-ite' (South Bender?) We're in the northwest corner of Barry County. Lake Michigan must drop a lot of snow...
Hmmmm darn it, haven't even brushed the flu yet. Thanks for the reminder. Today the temp will be 88f. with high humidity. Will burn 5+ year w.oak...
What works for me is a little reading lamp and any kind of non-fiction reading: Tax code, Stephen Hawking, Networking training books, medical...
Congrats fortydegnorth on getting an IS. We like ours. After you absorb this years' IS thread, the one from winter '14/'15 is here (about 105...
It would be interesting to see if others turned in their dope for testing. All that was mentioned was that one gal.
That's a good bunch of wood for a day. Got em stacked too... Nice work, Frank.
Wowsa! How long is that bar & chain ?
Mmmmm yummy - beech and elm together in the wood burner. That sounds like it should work as well as some of nature's other natural combinations:...
Good story Canadian border VT. Man, you guys melted through that heap o' logs pronto! I've seen it before here too - two sawyers equals more than...
This is a great thread. I'm thinking that the cat cleaning with vacuum cleaner and brush only gets off the fly ash from the cell entrance & exits....
I've found that they start better iff'n you hold your tongue outa the side of the mouth just so while pulling the cord...... And also a brand new...
We've only had the good fortune to burn sugar maple a few times. It made that old VC cat stove run really hot and lasted for hours. It's great...
