With a light touch from the grinder and if you can avoid rocks and metal, I find chains last many years when cutting 5 cords per year. Maybe...
About a foot. Wanted it up a bit so the sooteater could scoot around it.
Depends. I just added a minisplit heat pump that heats my whole 1700sf house from 1963. It’s a 24k btu model and it needed a 25 amp breaker, 240...
The vinegar solution recommended is actually a weak acid that burns off the plating of stuff that accumulates on the catalyst and covers up the...
Me too. I actually own one for each stove and they are very quick and satisfying to use. They also can be very good for preheating the flue if...
But then really, so much great stuff comes from China too. My awesome champion generators, iPhones I’m typing on now, etc.
Just as well on the saw cc requirement. Tiny little saws can be electric. Real saws have more than 45cc anyway. A reasonable solution for...
Oh no, you don't need a cold stove but you do need a replacement gasket every time you remove the cat. 20-30$. That's a major reason that you...
I'm planning ahead for next year and I wonder what price difference you give for full cord deliveries vs. face cords. I too can easily throw 1/3...
I didn't realize how sensitive I would be about selling wood to somebody and them letting it sit out in the rain. It was bone dry when it got...
It’s 81 in my house. The new cat just stays hot and no smoke. Black box mode. Every dang time I replace the catalyst I kick myself for waiting so...
i have a bottle of stuff called caliper pin slide grease. I hope that’s okay for caliper pins.
Is there an annual super sale on these saws? Like a Black Friday deal?
Absolutely. Turns to a powder coating which is likely what stops seize and offers some lubrication similar to a graphite powder.
You can see in one photo that there is a dead steel cat in there. It was a BK brand cat and worked just fine but didn’t last very long at all. I...
That’s why I sell my wood by the full, tossed in, “truckload” and provide dimensions. That way I don’t have to argue about how many cords the...
Emptied one bay of shed (5.5 cords) one truckload at a time. It’s 1/3 plus of a cord this way. I sold each load and delivered it within a week....
Since the beginning I have been tracking each cat’s lifespan and this latest one was one of the longest at 20 burning months, or about 12000 hours...
I have run into many heavily pitched "fatwood" sections of fir trees, pine trees, or even hemlocks. It's just a normal thing that you'll find near...
Ive been moving 1/3 cord loads of fir for 200$ and though this seems high to me but it’s the same as your 1/2 cord for 300$. I use only fbm. My...
