I appreciate the article for its description of the % error of reading due to temperature and species. Never read anywhere before that info......
I experience the same- w.oak won't get stove as high of temps as w.ash "for a given intake setting". To get the same output heat burning a load of...
We appreciate the way that ash outgasses in the stove and maintains solid secondary flame or hot cat activity if that's your preference. Then it...
The ant and the grasshopper story comes to mind. They predict temps in the upper 20's here today - going to feel downright tropical but we are...
Leinie's now, long ago there were Old Style and Pabst blue ribbon signs on so many of the country bars. Holy smokes- was that back in the 60's and...
Welcome to the FHC, RiverMonster. That is one fine intro post and splitter review. Also, I am envious of your Locust score. How wierd that the...
That's cool Dascro (pun intended). Did ya notice how much easier the rounds pop apart when they're freeze-dried solid like that? The ice inside...
Long ago when men were bold And paper was not invented, They wiped their πss On a piece of grass, And walked away contented.
So, did anyone here go grab the firewood? And why didn't we ID if it was red oak or what...

Those are really neat. I admire the notch work - looks like you got the angles just right. Good job!
I would hope for some kind of spring-loaded or automated default-closed valve here. I'm thinking about the time my DW had reloaded our previous...
Now that's what I call making the trip worthwhile! But holy smokes, that Ranger is working hard today, heheh. Nice haul.
That there is a good lookin' load of rounds. Ya gotta make hay while the sun shines, eh? The truck appears up to the task too. Nice catch...
For the transition from feeding the IS lighter shoulder wood (ash in my case) to nice dense wood (white oak & BL), do you find you have to set the...
Silence of the Lambs. Have a heart, will ya? It's no skin off your back.
Just from observation the knots seem to burn longer. Where branches come together, the fibers are more dense so more BTU's. Another reason we...
Where you were at to snap that pic looks like a great place to have an easy chair, a brewsky and the fire warming the bottoms of your feets.
My droid browser doesn't see anything of your 'picture' but a totally black rectangle. So you were either running fully cat-only mode (fully dark...
