18 degrees here at the moment with more Box Elder burning in the stove, along with a chunk of barkless mystery wood. 77 degrees inside and I'm...
Had a rogue gust of wind reverse my draft and snuff out my fire while I was partway through my morning workout. Got things back on track with...
Out here in Utah you don't see the term face cord much, but when you order a cord, you will get 128 cubic feet of loosely tossed wood, which...
34 and windy with a nasty snow/rain mix falling here. Fired up a load of Box Elder that was split and stacked in May/June 2014 a little while...
It's been a very warm September/October here as well. The last two years I burned about 1/2-2/3 of a cord during the same period of time, and...
I'm sitting on 8 full cords at the moment.
This stove loves to run between 700-750 when it's cranking. Just keep it south of 800 and you don't have anything to worry about. It's a great...
I almost feel like a large tube style stove would be better for this application. With no insulation you aren't looking for a stove that can burn...
Don't think that's the issue. Most of the wood I was testing is Box Elder and Lodgepole pine that has been split since May/June 2014. Think I'll...
I picked up a moisture meter recently so I could put my mind at ease about my firewood, and I'm having a little hiccup with it. Hopefully the...
Woke up to 31 outside and 60 inside this morning, but a load of some recently procured dead standing Aspen mixed with some Apple and Cherry uglies...
The temp has dropped from 49 this morning at 7am to 40 as of 1pm, holding steady there with intermittent heavy rain. Just fired up a load of...
I am a supporter of campfire and outdoor burn restrictions. Every time I go camping at an established campground (I would prefer more remote...
I split everything that is large enough to stand up on the block. I really dislike burning rounds, regardless of species. That's just my $0.02....
This thread and the bickering in it amuse me. That aside, I am excited to see the direction hybrid technology stoves will move in over the...
I suppose we are getting pretty close to the halfway point of the burning season, although around here there's still a solid 3.5-4 months of...
Yup, I thought the same thing. That's also some impressive productivity with a splitter. It took me about 16 hours of running a hydraulic...
I like this idea a lot. I don't have much use for a bin on wheels given my set up, but I do use an apple bin for my indoor wood storage. It's...
Seems scary cheap to me, my neighbor had 6 dead standing trees dropped in his yard, and it ran him around $3300. Granted, he had the branches...
After seeing that almost pixel-like grain, I think some of the wood in my stacks is actually BL, I thought it was Siberian Elm. Or do those two...
