Nice review HarvestMan. There is still a loyal following to this stove even though the buzz has been around the IS, Progress and the new Beta....
Ok, update. This tweak worked well for our stove. Close to even burn from start to finish. Even in the secondaries they were floating a lot more...
We load between 2,3,4 times a day depending on temperatures. I keep standing dead elm rounds that have been seasoned for several years in its...
They sent it out on their email roster, you probably are not in their database is all.
Well, I let the stove cool off today and set the air deflector at 1/4" on the right side and 1/8" on the left side. Just started up the stove and...
Yes, the 201 was a bit different. There is a lot of info out there on the fireview but a lot of the buzz has been on the IS, Beta and Progress...
The burn is biased on the left side, more than the right. I had asked the good folks at Woodstock a few years back about this and was told it is...
Finished up completely re-gasketing and cementing our fireview. It was a little easier than the first time I did it. Anyways, I have read from...
I think you will enjoy the updated cat. I had a loose 1st generation stainless similar to what you experienced. No complaints on the new one.
Ethanol is rated at 113 octane, when you have a E10 blend refiners get away with running a lower octane gas mixed with Ethanol. Take away the...
I had a female Pyrenees who though the whole county was her territory, awesome dog, but she sure was independent. Had to have a slanted fence so...
High compression and timing curves of our modern chainsaws require higher octane to prevent detonation and flame front collisions. Pre-ignition...
Great Pyrenees?
+1 Ethanol is a cheap octane enhancement to gas. Also, it is hygroscopic, loves attracting water, which is why you will see phase separation in...
With the final sale on, it's getting pretty tempting to upgrade from the fireview. Not sure I want to go through rebuilding the fireview again.
Besides if one is showing off for max RPMs, its kinda a catch 22. It's nice to have racing rpms for limbing, but if you want to bury the bar into...
I do have plenty of draft when it's cold, you have to stay on top of making sure the stove is air tight and we also have a turn key damper as a...
That would be my take, regardless of max RPM, it's all where it puts the most power in the cut.
I've fixed some stock ones oe and ne in the past but finally acquired one for myself to do a mild build. Freaky would be the word for this saw....
The saw is quite a hoot, but hitting close to 15k is a bit scary with a used bottom end!
