Not really much beyond being able to control the stove better. I should mention something I didn’t really think about until today as I was...
Dennis that’s a good question. Last night when I knew I really needed some good heat I really packed the splits in there. For example 6 splits...
Yep you could if you want too. I’ve got others like that. I usually take the teeth down on the wood style blades. This one was close at hand for...
It is possible but depends on how they are dying. The wilt usually strikes in early summer and the tree is dead by the end of August. Looks...
I’m fortunate enough to not be getting those:p:rofl: :lol:
This is the perfect task for old worn out sawzall blades. I wrap the one end with electric tape. Also a couple seconds on the bench grinder and...
Completely agree! It was always one of my favorite trees. Broke my heart to see them all start dying around here 15-20 years ago. Not only good...
I don’t think your an outlier at all. You burn what you have. Now having said that I’ve got some hickory, hard maple, white oak(which seasons much...
I got a chuckle from that too. :rofl: :lol:I’ve burned almost exclusively white ash here for the past 8 years. Shoulder wood has been spruce,...
Yeah that’s the stump there. Ash doesn’t tend to have much of a butt swell at the base of the trunk. Like Backwoods Savage said above the roots...
It sure has Dave! This load here will run until this afternoon and didn’t require more than about 30 minutes and very little of my attention to...
Great minds think alike Tim! I loaded the stove up at around 11 last night before bed. Ended up putting 3 of my hard maple private reserve splits...
Not sure I’ll go that far. I’m going to run it like this for awhile to make sure I’m happy with it. Tonight will be a good test. Supposed to go...
I think so too. Way different too. That’s recognizable as just pieces of wood that haven’t been burnt yet. The coals I had built up in there...
I’d like to provide a small update. It was cold in the 20s yesterday here. Last night it went down into the low teens. I loaded the stove full...
Yep but I found quick not much more than 16” will fit behind the andirons. :yes:
That’s no excuse. We had a member attend with his father all the way from Australia a couple years ago!:rofl: :lol:
Thought you ms400 fans might enjoy this one: [MEDIA] joe (red97) has been doing a real nice job with these videos and his awesome dyno!
I’ll be there for sure! Who knows I might even be able to be more than useless by then. Be great if I had my new splitter as well…
there’s room in there at one side or the other to stick a couple more north/south splits too if you shift that whole second level over a bit[ATTACH]
