Good job on keeping a new burner from slipping into "the dark side". Thinking back, it would sure have been excellent if we'd had you as a mentor...
What cleaning method did you do - vinegar bath, vinegar-water spray, dust and vacuum?
Great score and good on ya for helping cut for the other hoarders. We know what you mean about leaving BTU's behind, but sometimes it can't be helped.
Welcome aboard, 1964. You found a good place to yak & ratchet-jaw & laugh & learn too.
The stove is in the basement here. Overnight temp was 10°f. Loaded the stove last night as always before turning in and this morning the upstairs...
Excellent. That there is a sweet load. It would get us through two winters of burning. Very nice.
Most certainly do separate them. If a maple split is found in the oak stack, it must get moved to its brethren in the maple stack - right now....
Darnit, we'll probably have to close the windows. And doors. Can't stand it above 80° in the house.
Good job, Allen. That saw looks hungry... for something bigger perhaps.
Wowsa, that's unreal. Those splits should dry pretty quick (for oak) with the shapes you made 'em. Good job, GrJfer.
Does anyone else have a whistling IS? It's our second year with the IS, maybe 4 or 5 times strong windy conditions have sucked air through the...
Some printed articles about house fires caused by chimney fires mailed anonymously? Ehrr, waitaminit - gotta check if that's legal...
I've been tempted to open up the left side EPA jet some to try to counteract the IS's tendency toward always burning more vigorously on the right,...
That unregulated air jet on the right you mention is one of two; there is one on the left also. For some reason, the right one seems to provide...
Holy smokes Chvymn99, that tree's self-protection system looks deadly wicked! Nice catch in spite of the extra work....
Another great find by Greg. Hey, there may as well have been a big sign stuck in the ground in the logs saying "GREG - take me home!". LOL Good...
Good lookin' stove NVhunter! That charcoal & black color combo was a good choice. When we burn our IS and outdoor Temps are in the thirties, we...
I got that too and some IS users have seen the same. Mine was so bad that the pan door gasket stuck to the stove. I found that my OCD habit of...

Your wife is a rare gem. I read on the Internet that the debate in some Scandinavian country about bark-up vs. bark-down can get really heated. So...
