I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that you can feel the heat long before you touch it. I've raised 3 with no burns.
[ATTACH] Sorry about Ol Sam. My wife has a polydactyl cat. Toeby.
I do the same, only rake to the front to get a night log on the floor for a longer burn (read: faster reload). I never have to push my stove...
I have a 8.5 KW. It will only run one 240v appliance at a time, plus any 120v I have running. I have to run the water heater, then switch it off...
A friend had similar symptoms out of a two stroke mini tiller last week. Reved out but no idle. Idle jet did nothing. I counter the turns to full...
Its all clear down here. Locally.

I've never thought twice about leaving a fire unattended. But I was raised with wood as the only source of heat. I've also never had a stove that...
Don't forget to leave an air gap at to bottom, and the top open, for air to circulate behind it.
I have a PTO driven screw type. Here's a thread on screw splitters. Anybody use a screw/cone splitter?
Sassafras has a Very distinctive odor. You can't miss it.
Howdy neighbor. :handshake: Welcome to the Hoard. My first year with an EPA stove was 2012. I got red oak down to ~25% that year, 2011-2012. I...
After a ton of research on the net, I went with a Savage Axis (one for me and one for the wife). We got the Accutriggers, money very well spent...
I've never heard of anyone doing a vinegar bath more than once a year. It's not necessary imho. X3 on being careful with compressed air, it can...
Same here
Anytime my stove is going to be left unattended (sleep/work), it's with a load in it.
I'd say this is asking for an overfire. Sounds backwards. Wouldn't every stove overfire if left wide open with a load of wood in it? Better to...
I haven't seen it mentioned in awhile. Excellent job of keeping things friendly and enjoyable around here. Your time and effort are appreciated....
My X has an 03 Dakota 4.7 auto. ~250k. Drivetrain has been flawless. It's thirsty. Runs/pulls good. Very reliable overall.
I know someone who had it done with cellulose, sprayed right on the blocks. They said it made a very noticeable difference. ~5 years and no problems.
