I was thinking about doing something very similar as I believe one of the hot air ducts for the bathroom (which is colder than the rest of the...
I don't mind burning pine but if you have it in a open fireplace or even when reloading with the door open, watch for those pitch-pockets...
When I lived at the farm I burned a crap load of Box Elder and hated every minute of it. Is it better than not having anything to burn...barely,...
I've got this same stove in a 6'x16' "custom" walkout basement enclosure. I say custom in quotes because it's temporarily built on top of a...
I find in the course of splitting that I generally end up with plenty of smalls and chuglies to start fires with and fill in the gaps.
This is exactly what I use as a rule, the one-hander (easy boys).
Wow, they have a really high efficiency claimed. I'm curious though as to how they advertise fully automatic control yet have 4 manual rotary air...
I second the Drolet Tundra. At least once a week I go over to the website and drool over replacing my Daka with it. The Daka works as a heat...

Oak and Walnut and maybe a few other trees of that nature (nut trees?) do indeed have tannin's in them that are acidic. Whether or not they break...
Got at least 40 seconds of near gas burner affect! Actually this went on for a good long while. The key last night was to get the wood good and...
Well I limped through Friday night and Saturday morning with just one load of small elm rounds in the Daka closed down tight about 10pm Friday...
If it was in the power lines proper then that could have had a detrimental affect on the top branches. I've seen it kill lesser trees. Heck even...
My first thought is that whatever condition can bring it up to a temperature where it can give up more moisture to the air than it takes in. I...
I used to think I was safe in this position as well (easy boys!) but it sucks when you're connected with a chain!
That makes me feel better; Thanks HD! Regardless, I'm really liking the added control offered with the pipe damper. Now just to teach the rest of...
Burn it like you mean it!! That's plenty dry right there.
