Glad you are here Jim! I'm with papadave , would love to see pictures of your stove and know more about how it works. I'm a fan of all wood...
Those of you who cook on your stoves: have you ever had a pot boil over or spilled something you were cooking onto the hot cook top?
I would open the windows and turn on the whole house fan if it ever got that hot in my house. I agree with papadave, burn smaller loads or just...
We have good ceiling and wall insulation, but like you we lose a lot of heat because we have a lot of windows and because they leak quite a bit....
Please share some pictures of what you end up cooking. I love the idea of doing this, but I don't trust myself! :flipeggs:
Nice looking setup! I particularly like the one-piece andiron design.
My old stove had one built into the collar; on a 28 foot chimney, I needed it quite a bit to slow the old gal down. When I installed the Fireview...
This looks like where I may be heading. I really don't like going above 73, but raising the temp a couple degrees before the overnight burn may...
My wood supply for this year is a bit light on the larger pieces for the back of the stove. I've been trying to split big square/rectangular...
It must be like a wave. Takes a while to come in and when it does you find out how big it is. Would love to hear from someone who has one of...
This is the first year I have owned a stove capable of overnight burns. Was curious to read how others manage overnight fires. Here are a few...
I like the concept of a large radiant thermal mass centrally located; I would like to try a massive soapstone/masonry heater. I love radiant heat...
That is a pretty good price; might pick up a couple packs. Was hoping Family Farm and Home would have a sale on the gren bricks, but they are not...
Sadly, I don't have any black locust in my stacks :(. Once the temps get low and I get into some of my white and red oak, I should be able to get...
29 here and cloudy. Going above freezing tomorrow and into 50's for Thursday and Friday. Decided to see how hot I could get the Fireview. Loaded...
All done with the harvest, just some clean up tasks. Raspberry pruning, a bit of mulching and some fencing to keep the rabbits away from the...
I'm counting on this stuff all being melted by the weekend. Still need to do a few gardening tasks before real winter sets in. Forecast is for...
They are tough little buggers ... curious to see what they look like after the snow melts. Nice to have some color up until freeze up and first...
We ended up with quite a bit more than the initial 1-3 they were calling for. Here are totals for towns right around where I live. Did not...
Owning a side loader pretty much locks me into the E/W loading. However, I do have a bunch of shorts and uglies that allow me to do some N/S and...
