The unfortunate thing about woodstocks is that you can't see one at a stove dealer to be impressed. That's also good because they can avoid the...
I would ignore the max btu ratings in the brochures. It’s a peak number at best, peak for a minute. Instead, if you want to use the btu...
Just a load of pine getting delivered. Stacks to somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 a cord. People like buying this smaller quantity. [ATTACH]
You learned faster than me. I think a mix of sizes is ideal to get some big splits in there and then fill the spaces with smaller ones. The big 40...
I own a similar rutland brand stiff poly brush. It's really stick and great for breaking off hard deposits but the sooteater does a much better...
I've been burning this cat stove for like 12 years now and about 50 cords. I experiment with split sizes because the BK ads tell us that a benefit...
Yeah but it's a BK so it'll be just warm all the time. Plus it has that foil on the handle to shield the heat.
I would like one of these solar generators but have zero interest in solar panels. I would just charge the dang things with utility power or...
Every year, after the last grass mow, I remove my cheap mid deck and pressure wash it bare. Then paint it with whatever rustoleum spray paint I...
For some reason I started making wrapped bundles. Built a little jig and bought some wrapping film. My family members take a few for their home...
Love the username, menziesii. I do not believe, even with free logs delivered, that you can get 30$ per hour selling firewood in the PNW. The...
I wonder if the insulation material has to be non combustible.
Here's a previous thread that starts out with the chart of materials and R value per inch. R values on a hearth build? So for example with...
I hate R requirements for hearths. I think it is the result of poor engineering. They all should be ember protection only. Some very good brands...
Yeah, I've never had a problem with needing more than one adjustment for cutter angle or lack of left to right accuracy or the one wheel size. The...
I bet heavy mix ratios too. Even some old homelite generators wanted a 10:1 mixture for their 3600 rpm 2 strokes. 30 weight engine oil of course.
You mean my HF grinder for like 30$ isn't good enough?
For a person in your situation, needing constant but not much power, I would seriously recommend one of these things they call "solar generators"....
I just bought a 372xp clone about 6 months ago and followed directions to use that 25:1 mix and it was super smokey and blubbery. I quickly moved...
I’m sure you had your reasons but for most people’s needs, 20kw is a monster overkill generator. 10k would be more than enough for my all electric...
