Yes, this is great advice. From my stove's manual: The International Residential Code (IRC) does not allow the outside air duct to terminate...
Wow. Not the dustbuster of old, they've come a long way. The filter isn't constantly clogged by the ash? I've got a shop vac with a secondary...
Anyone have one? Pluses and minuses? How much can be vacuumed before the filters have to be cleaned? Amazon's got several in the $100 range and...
That thing is 20 years old?!?!?! Dang, looks real nice.
Wow. I've wondered if this was possible given the numerous smaller woomfs I see quite often. Wonder how bad it can get?
Yah, the wind has been interesting to me as I get to know my stove. When it's real gusty, like over 40, of course I could always hear it in my...
I'm paying significantly more for a cord of his kiln dried, vs a cord of his 'seasoned'. He won't guarantee moisture content below 20 on the...

Ahhh, super interesting. You're confirming something I've been wondering. The tubing I'm using is insulated dryer venting rated for about 300*F....
Yah, I may do this. Thanks for the info!
Thanks all, really appreciate the help! I've been leaning towards pipe damper, I figure what can it hurt (besides slightly more difficult...
The manual calls 30' the maximum height. But I just went out and took a rough measurement... it's probably closer to 27/28' Google tells me the...
I've found that if I load my stove as full as possible, char the wood with the stove damper fully open, then shut the stove damper all the way...
Yah, I generally agree with everyone else. Work with the company you contracted first. Failing to pull the permit is a problem, but the real...
Looks real good, and so happy you can sit around in your skivvies typing away with all of us :thumbs: Insurance not supporting home's with...
