Shortly after we got ours I accidentally ran it up to 900STT, thinking that restricted air flow would just just shut it down, nope, shot from 700...
My Dad grew up on farm in the U.P. and he has said the same thing... Cut the wood in the winter, it's easier to get out of the woods, no leaves,...
That was either stacked wet or water was getting in there. Firewood doesn't have an expiration date, as long as it's dry before you store it and...
I have to agree with you about this in the U.P. As soon as the OWBs started appearing the terrible haze of bad wood burning was hanging over most...
6 in round poly brush here, that thing with the chaines on it looks like a great way to wreck a chimney.
Get it split. Locust is typically a really easy wood to split... Cleaves nice and even knots come apart easily
What's the best wood for nice rolling secondaries? It's been my experience that some woods generate them better than others... Maple, cottonwood,...
I prefer to heat ... Can't stand super hot weather. You can add a sweater when you are cold, but there's only so many layers you can lose when...
It's been cold here for a while...although today shot up to fifty... Big change from snow on Saturday and below freezing most of yesterday. So in...
:hair: Looks good. I like your economics. I wish you could have the option, on when you want and off when it cools down...mine takes its sweet...
A rack full of twigs ought to do it. Chunk of 2x4 for them long burns of over 15 minutes.
How big is the wood? I wonder if cutting wood to fit would be a pita.
You can carry it with you
I'm using something similar and its able to split any thing... You just have to work it sometimes like a maul, taking thin slices off the side...
Almost never. It stays clean on its own... First year it didn't, but that was usually the fault of the wood... It wasn't dry enough. Now? Never.
Friends and family got really boned by the propane bs. A lot of cold homes that winter. I inherently distrust anything that is a virtual...
I looked up the Rothschild plant, and although it looks like a massive boondoggle for WE energies and the paper mill, I am confused how it relates...
I'll just put in another stove if it's such a hassle to make your own fuel for the pellet stove. Barring that, I'll stick with the propane...
The city provides free wood chips to anyone. It's too big of chunks for a pellet mill but some sort of brick or log compressor would make you...
