I see some great pics like this when I stop at Dysarts in Bangor Maine enroute to the hunting cabin. Great old photos. I may try and sneak a pic...
I was in a climber with no attractants at all. Had a smaller 6 pt downwind from me in a different cornfield when this buck came out. He was...
When the bucks just can't control themselves and run all day long. Definitely experiencing the first rut cycle right now. This buck was on tour,...
I only base that comment on how others have claimed burns. The stove has typically only peaked for an hour or so. Others claimed peak burns in...
I stick to unloading, through the barrel!
As you can see in the pics, there is quite a lot of firebrick left over. May be able to make radiused walls. Not sure if the big logs will work...

The pile is ash, hickory, locust, cherry, beech, and mostly red oak. Only hitting the locust/hickory due to the length of wood available at my...
They do love the beech. That sucker is just shy of tennis ball diameter.
Yes we do. Here is one from last years efforts. [ATTACH]
First burn tonight so off to the wood stacks. My next in line wood is too long for my stove. I still have 10 or so cords that are cut to 22-24...
42 degrees this morning and feeling like the same tonight. Hooked up the 30 and loaded her with 4 splits of hickory and locust. We're off and...
