Mid-year report. This is the best year burning yet. The 3-year plan and MM both work.
What glass?
The Encore is particular about how the load is arranged. If straight splits fit tightly together in the stack, it's reluctant to come up to...
Another 7 inches possible by day's end. It was said somewhere that we are on the tail end of a major ice age ( the ice was 2 miles thick here,...
Well said, Certified. Very well stated. That post struck a chord.
The rule of diminishing accuracy: 1. Measure it with a micrometer. 2. Mark it with chalk. 3. Cut it with a hatchet. I just use an 18" stick and...
It is unlikely that I would get one of those regardless of the mileage or price. Doesn't appear that very much firewood could fit in the backseat.
There is "dry wood" and then there's "really great really dry wood". Even within the same 2- or 3-year stack I find both, same species. Kinda...
I gotta say that having more than a years worth of wood is an unintended benefit to the three year plan. The purpose was to get years worth...
This year taught us to close off two unused rooms so the core areas can stay somewhat warm. Our stove isn't quite up to the task this winter. Nice...
This freaky cold weather has convinced us that the next stove will have to be bigger and better output than the current unit.
Wowsa. It warms the heart looking at those pics. Thanks, Dave.
The prediction is for -10f. here tonight and wondchill sure to be way under that. These cold snaps are really unusual for where we are.
It's remarkable that thing fit into a stove. I would probably have sawed its arms off just on GP.
I tend to believe the IR before any of the three magnetic gadgets we have.
The smoke does stop once the load is down to coals ... LOL
Have used about a cord so far. Probably 2/3 of this winter's allocation is black locust, which almost keeps up to the extra cold season this year....
The original Encore manual says that for a reload on a hot coal bed, to close the damper right after reload. Normal procedure is to leave the...
It was probably just Backwoods Savage uploading pictures of his wood stacks again. Slows ANY server down, but only for a few minutes usually. Heheh.
Excellent!
