Good choice of stove ( I'm biased) Maineidealsteel. Welcome to FHC. I doubt if you hurt anything because mine has been there. To control your...
You did your neighbors a good deed Dave. Sad about it being a wedding gift but they already knew it had to go.
That's cozy looking. Kind of place that invites friends to gather and enjoy a root beer or something. Now, where do you live again? Heheh.
Cool post. Big venerable living things that outlast generations of people - I find it rather humbling. Imagine how much air it breathed and water...
Had to get rid of the sticks and leaves- did you have to haul it away somewhere or could you pile it up on site for later burning? I bet most or...
Gonna burn 4 year CSS oak pretty soon. There was some left in a stack so next winter that will be 5 year oak. Even if it turns into compost we...
,"It's not a huge amount" my foot, Sean. Neat stacks and alot of wood there... Good job! I'd call yours a prodigeous hoard, specially considering...
That's lookin' real clean, Scotty. More evidence pointing to a three-year-plan (or a 10-year plan like yours). Just say the word and I'll send ya...
One more noticeable thing about how well the IS cat processes smoke into heat - is what kind (species) of wood is loaded. Some of us have noticed...
Excellent hearth work and stove, Brad. Looking forward to your thoughts on the IS when you find that magical setting to get the lazy hypnotic...
Methinks papadave must be thinking about this: [ATTACH] Heheh
Awesome A-1 topnotch slideshow, J1m! Welcome to the club.
Can't say as I've ever heard of that brand of furnace. Oh, waitaminit- that's the kind we have too. LOL. Good lookin' F3CB stove, Colin.
So it's going to be mild, per the caterpillars laying in the stacks moved into the shed. Every one of 'em I saw had broad brown middle: [ATTACH]...
Innovator- the IS has a separate 'cat air' intake & channel independant of the others. It is automatic, controlled by a thermostat bi-metal vavle.
Interesting idea. I like the way that the IS has the 3 separate intake ports (sort of) accessable on the outer shell - cat air (bimetal flapper),...
Thanks for the post thewoodlands and for the caterpillar chart Deererainman. I was needing to know exactly how much wood to pack into the shed...
Dollars to donuts, you're going to like it in that NC30. We find white ash pretty close to dry red oak.
I never burned in an NC30 so can't compare it to our IS. We started burning in a smoke dragon (Fisher Papa), put in an EPA cat stove (VC Encore...
A safety TIP for IS owners: remember to remove the center burner (it's loose) before you remove the top cover. Else it can slide off and boink...
