Way beyond my skill level even if I had the tools/equipment to make stuff like that. very nice work Spencer.
This is the best idea in my opinion. Ours is a Fireview and the cat is very easy to get at. Once the stove has burned down to just coals/embers,...
We burn it mixed in with other hardwood. I try to stay away from the heavily knotted pieces sincce they have the most pine sap. Other than that,...
HMMM!! 27 outside, but c;loser to 85 inside Dennis and Judy's home, and of course I was wearing a heavy fflannel shirt. Golf cart heater must have...
yooperdave, Just curious. We have a place on Thunder Lake about 20 miles Northwest of Manistique. Wondered if you knew where that is. Built in...
Nope. But since I was a couple years ahead, I have managed to always have at least 2 year old splits on hand. It is getting harder to scroung...

bogydave, Yeah I got lucky. Before I retired, the company I was working for bought some large equipment that came in heavy crates. They were going...

Yes Dennis, Meeting eachother is long overdue. I will mesage you next time we travel your way. That's a promise!!
Green splits stay outside for a year or so. What is inside is ready for the Fireview.;
Thanks for the thoughts everyone. I have the time now to do more things. Finally retired! At 74 i'm still hanging in there.
After scrounging up as much materials as I could and figuring out how to build it around the stacks, I built this. Not being a carpenter or a...
Thanks to the sick humor of your members, I am leaving this forum. Nothing about these posts is good for FHC.
Going on 5 years with the Fireview. Can't see any reason at all to spend more than a couple grand on a different stove Woodstock or other brand....
All the wood in my avatar is courtesy of a Fiskars. Just don't overdo it! Get yourself 3 years ahead and it's not so hard to keep up.
