Hi Adam, I’m new here too and also from NW Ct. We do some small scale maple sugaring in western Ma., lots of fun. Welcome.
I’m not sure of the price, but the pipe I bought from Woodstock Soapstone years ago is a heavier gauge than typical hardware store types, and also...
Oops, sorry hovlandhomestd, I meant to thank you for the video. Best of luck fishing today.
Sean, thanks for that great video! The decoys are amazing- what a great hobby that must be. It’s illegal here to spear anything in fresh water....
How does pike spearing work? Do you lure the in with chum?
Wow. I could fish there and consider it a perfect day even if I didn’t catch anything!
Hi Sean, Looks like that ice is ready to go in the old ice house - already cut up. I’d love to see some pics of the scenery in your area. Must be...
Anyone ice fishing this winter? My son and I got some nice lakers in the Adirondacks a few weeks ago. Not much safe ice here in CT yet.

[ATTACH] I just began using this in my garage . Heats pretty well but it does take a while with the small firebox. Does anyone have advice about...

Thanks for the warm welcome folks. I am looking for some tips on cooking with that old kitchen stove, but I know there is another area for that,...

Here are a few of my stoves. Too cold to go out to take pictures of the maul and the woodshed, but I will soon.

I understand. I had a quarter acre in Wallingford when we first married, and half of it was a woodpile and the rest was a vegetable garden. After...
Thanks, I’ll look into how I can post pictures. I always split by hand, but since I retired and ended up with 10 cords of really big stuff, I...
Naw, just thinking it’s the day to burn more, not worry about saving any. I have plenty and stay one or two years ahead. It’s nice to enjoy a...
Not the day here in NW Connecticut to be a firewood hoarder - rather throw it all in the stove! Eleven below zero this morning with 20 mph winds.
