So I've been debating for a while to make some of those rustic picture frames that are thinly sliced rounds, often with bark still on for some...
That is what I did, I couldn't imagine boiling that much vinegar inside! I thought it'd be quicker to boil and more efficient being enclosed in...
Nothing I had was large enough. I had to hunt down an 18" turkey roasting pan. Paid way too much after not finding anything for a couple months....
Well cheap is a relative term, but yeah no big deal I guess. I was just planning on this thing lasting much longer. And I agree the boil is a...
I haven't visited the forums in a while! Unfortunately my cat seems to be underperforming. For those of you that have had the stove a few years...
Was the 8x8 flue cracked then? If I had those kind of quotes I wouldn't be spending that kind of money just to burn wood! Do you have your own...
I was going to say Woodstock, best of both worlds in one stove! If you burn 24x7 I think the the whole even heat and how quickly it warms up...
Oh I use about 1.5 bags a day but looks like that might not last too long. I'm able to carry in still if that is what you were getting at, but...
Some good and bad news. For the good, the Englander is still running pretty good after I finally figured out how to clean the darn thing. Probably...
I burn mostly ash that was CSS fall of '13. It was standing dead and some of it under 25% at the time - I even burned that winter (before the IS...
I haven't been on here much lately. I think my cat is also not working that great (this is its second winter). I only did the vinegar spray method...
So I got my new radiator and warming rack installed. The rack is pretty basic, not even sure if I'll use it much but just felt like accessorizing....
I'm normally the one dishing out the be careful with ashpan door advice lol! I don't find mine that sensitive at all though if its just cracked....
Gotcha, I was just curious. While the Ideal Steel has the decorative 'burners' on the top similar to yours that add one or two layers, there is...
Out of curiosity is there not a nearby stovetop space that doesn't have the extra layer of decorative steel on it? That might be giving you just a...
It's probably fine. If you haven't read the thread back from the beginning you may not know but one of the common traits of this stove is that it...
I see what you all are saying. Will try it out starting above the head. The X27 seems light enough through that swinging it up over head doesn't...
I don't see how I am wasting any energy, it's not like I lift it over my head, just the handle? Are you also saying to start with the head up...
I'll dollar bill test my gasket next time the stove is off... which isn't too often. But suppose to hit almost 60 Tuesday so maybe I'll let it go...
I've not really noticed a difference personally. If I'm loading a big load in there with big splits on very little coals I do sometimes put some...
