You're welcome. It's been a process, but the system is very good now. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. By the way, the...
Backwoods Savage, that looks great! I told my wife if I can't have a cabin right now, at least I can have a room that's like a cabin. :) Thanks...
Yes. I made two baffles out of plywood the same size as the two furnace filters (one for the Clayton and the other for the heat pump system). When...
Here are some more pics of the man cave and my indoor wood storage:[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
Hey Sam. I do have a "backup" HVAC unit. It is a heat pump/propane backup system. I use the heat pump only when the temperatures are too warm...
Yep! I tied the trunk line into my main HVAC trunk line. I also made sure to put in a cold air return. I used insulated duct board for both lines.
19 degrees here in Southeast Ohio with a fresh coat of 5" of snow. Running the Clayton (indoor wood furnace), and burning a mixture of locust,...
I love my Clayton wood furnace. It heats 3000 square feet, and is so reliable. It does burn twice as much wood as my Jotul, but I can always count...
Thanks guys....you confirmed my suspicions. Better to mix locust with some other hardwoods on a load. You guys are great!
I agree Raybonz and jatoxico, black locust is not a very good "catching on fire" wood. I think I will continue to mix it as much as I can with...
Hey guys, do you like to mix black locust with other woods when you burn it? Obviously black locust is one of the hottest burning woods, but it...
Thanks for sharing! I have been using that method some this week and it has helped me get a longer burn time. I have also been shutting the air...
Not that it matters, but the Oslo F500 (my model) has a firebox of 2.54 cubic feet. I can fit 4-5 decent size splits in it on a load.
So when you guys rake your coals forward, do you leave the back with 3-4" of no coals, then put a split of wood on an area with no coals? Can...
Thanks Huntingdog1! That makes sense!
Thanks Butcher! Yes, I was referring to a start after an 8-9 hour burn. Sounds like I need to try shutting it down to half air a little earlier...
This is my second season with my Jotul Oslo, and 14th year burning wood as our primary heat source (I also have a Clayton wood furnace). How long...
That definitely looks like white ash. I would agree with the other guys - white ash is not as good as oak, but I always get good burn times....
Try this....just go to myhomeenvironment.com, and click on the barometric pressure tab at the top. That should work.
Hey guys, I think my analysis might still be correct...check out this article I linked below. But your points about smoke rising are also...
