I control the house temp mainly by setting the air draft, somewhat by loading the stove to match the outside temp. Let it cruise along until the...
Owned it almost 22 years. No rust. Body is in good shape.
I usually get 1 or 2 bluebirds each spring.
I wouldn’t be concerned with hanging cabinets on plywood over foam. Concrete is poured over rigid foam. It’ll take a lot to f BTUs to warm up a...
It’s making the rich richer. They’ll ride it as long as possible.
Buck it up and let it set a year. It gets brittle and will pop open with hydraulics.
My heart goes out to the family. RIP Brian. You’ll be missed.
If your wood is 18-20%, that’s pretty good. If in doubt inspect/sweep the chimney.
My parents bought 52 acres with a 3-4 acre persimmon thicket on it. Most were about 14” DBH. Few limbs. So thick they grew like pines. Easy...
I was raised burning green wood cut one truck load at a time. Persimmon for years. Blackjack before that. Keep a good bed of coals. Load the...
Probably have better luck in the pellet stove forum. Admin should be along to move it for you. Good luck. ETA: I see you posted there too
6 years now and no problems. I bought 20 IBC tote cages a couple years ago to store the wood in, under the roof. I hate stacking.
Some trivia: File' (pronounced "feelay", a gumbo spice) is made from ground sassafras leaves and tea can be made from the roots. I have lots of...
.22s are fun and relatively cheap to shoot. Practice is a good thing.
My gal pal has one. Nice little pistol.
If you’re happy, I’d leave it alone. Even if you cut your wood consumption in half it’ll never pay for itself. Otherwise, I’d go for a cat stove...
My name, Forrest Fox. True story
Same here.
I'd describe Red Oak the exact same way (but splits easier and straighter). Great stuff.
I’ve had several soft wood stumps burn out below the ground with one try, but they were always dry/dead. I sawed some draft ports in the bottom of...
