Balmy weather again in the tropical paradise of Saskatchewan. Was a few degrees above freezing overnight, currently sitting at 5 C or 40 F.
I guess if you already own one of the various Cadillac stoves (BK and IS come to mind) there probably isn't much room for improvement. A good...
Sitting at 7 C or 45 F for now, and supposed to drop to 1 C or 34 F tonight. Must be chugging through .75 cubic ft per day.:rofl: :lol::rofl:...
Just bored and thinking out loud. How do you think the performance of your stove is affected by the particulate matter rating? Does it make as...
Flue probes work fine with double wall stove pipe. Just drill straight through outer/inner wall, and stick probe in. Use a smaller drill bit for...
Think we're stuck in a slightly cooler than normal fall, as I don't remember burning this often, this soon. Small fires mind you. Sitting at 9 C...
I've gotten it from lumber yards, it's usually just sweep up garbage from whatever they've been cutting. You could throw a tarp under your cutting...
Canning wax (parrafin) and saw dust mix in a little McDonald ketchup cup type thing is what I do. I did try it using old candles and they are...
[MEDIA] Some homemade version of this?
If only there was something like a pellet stove igniter, but just small like a flue temp probe. Some 1000 degree metal probe would probably heat...
A few of us are slowly getting back online again. Welcome back.
Definitely not normal weather for around here. Apparently we made it down to -4 C or 25 F briefly overnight, but it was warming up already by 7...
Furry buddies are outside for their night business, and the temp is sitting at 0 C or 32 F. A bit early if you ask me...
Was another cool one overnight, in the 4-5 C or 38-40 F range. Funny how such a small amount of wood can chase the chill away in these temps though.
I live in Saskatchewan, so how am I even gonna notice the difference?:rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:
Another fire again last night, temps apparently dropped somewhere around/below 5 C or 40 F.
That 90 degree bend in the chimney might be partially to blame. I've read somewhere that it may affect draft to the tune of losing 5-6 feet of...
We're going down to 6,5,4, or 3 C, depending which weather app you look at.o_O
Yep, that's the same flue probe that I have installed on my stove.
One thing that confuses me here after looking back, is how the flue temps are so good if the wood isn't dry. I've burned some real dodgy stuff on...
