Inserts with circulating fans can come close to the heat output of a freestanding stove. The mass of a fireplace will also soak up and re-radiate...
Very Nice! Once again confirming how Scotty got his name.

God watches over babies and fools, sometimes.
Hey, I have that same chimnea! I wouldn't dare fire mine up like that, red flag warnings and PG&E threatening to cut the power again.
Somebody had to do it. [MEDIA] I saw them opening for Aerosmith at Cal-Expo. There was a chain on the saw, he cut up the stool he was sitting on...
When I had the old faller up to my place, that's how he did it. Being a commercial logger, it's all they use because it leaves the angle cut on...
First picture is overloaded. Second picture is fine. If it's getting light in the front end, you know you've over done it. I should know, I do it...

Nice looking stack. You've found the system it took me years to figure out, right down to cribbing the end against the upright. Wish I had some...
With split and dry(ing) wood, I would be concerned that continuous contact with melting snow might cause water to penetrate more than...
Pallet Pete would be Positively Proud If you're going to stack in single rows, which I kind of recommend, just use the trees as end posts.
Looking good. After thinking about this a little more, billb3 may be right. Since the wood is green and bark intact, rain will just run off. There...
If you are stacking in single rows, I would suggest 24 or 36 inch wide polyethylene sheet. Apply small patches of duct tape as reinforcement and...
[MEDIA] I've been using my Homelite splitter for about 10 years now. It splits everything up to about 24 in. diameter , it doesn't like oak...
That should work, but get some 6 mil (or heavier) poly and top cover, leaving the sides mostly open to breathe. They will dry significantly over...
I just looked at the OP's picture again. The largest splits (next to the stove) aren't all the same length, nor are they stacked with all the...
Um, how much water will those tarps hold? [IMG]
