Mike, that is a beautiful stove and install. Can't say I blame you one bit. Had to chuckle at "kid with a new toy" heheh.
You did a good thing there, capetown. I like how you handled the creosote remark- just let it fizzle out on its own. Maybe saved the guy from an...
NOW I know what to call these things... [ATTACH] A throw hausen .. LOL [ATTACH]
I'm allergic to work, but not to any trees that I know.of.
Sounds like a good plan to me, Fanatical. Putting already dried firewood under a roof to keep it dry is like taking action to preserve an...
ROGER THAT!!! (meaning, I totally agree)
We missed you, Dennis. Prayers for a smooth recovery.
You and your wife both did a great job. The three year plan is a boatload of work but the payoff is worth the trouble - efficient combustion....
With just enough 3-yr white oak left in the underground woodshed to try my first cube stack, it seemed to make sense putting this back outside for...
Great scores! I like the Stihl saw convention.
Wow - let us know how many squirrel and racoon families live in there, eh? Knarly (really big) branch - did high winds take that down, or just...
That's a great picture - especially with the splitter sittin'off in the distance ready to rock n roll. We also like pics of stacks (hint, hint)...
That's cool. 4 X 4 would make respectable splits. Free, you say? Even better.
M Man, oh man - you can say that again. Burned some white oak last winter that was an honest 3+ years in the stacks. Tho test splits measured at...
Wow. Slicing through 1/2" steel with light. No difference between that and magic. I would sure like to see it in action....
Yes I second that... the fact you kept your word. Good on ya. I could write a book about the scores that made no sense. Impossible access, junky...
Nifty score, JC. What is "the ATL"? Atlanta? Alot of work and worthy BTU's you got there - nice!
It doesn't take very many "little bit" scores to add up to a "big bunch" of firewood. Those look like nice straight grain rounds. Ya done good!
If I can grab and place a round from the end one-handed, it doesn't need splitting.
The S.S. Badger carferry goes from Ludington to Manitowoc, WI. It's a coal fired steam ship, pretty cool. Might be fun to watch it come in, they...
