I run the stove hard. Bring it to 700 ASAP and hold it there as long as possible until I can load more fuel. It pops up to 750 regularly. The...
I have found the nc30, at least in my installation, to be very controllable. I run it hard and hot but at any time I can shut the intake and it...
Coffee maker cleaner is sodium carbonate, not baking soda but close. If you have a pool or hot tub, ph increaser is sodium carbonate. Works great...
When you add drip edge after the fact do you need to nail it to the roof deck too?
It doesn’t hurt to install drip edge but it is certainly not required. Go look at a new house in a neighborhood with a comp roof. You’ll be lucky...
Skylight. That’s what we do in the utility biz.
That was not a mistake. Almost nobody uses drip edge in the pnw. I certainly don’t have any on my last few homes and last few roofs that I helped...
I have one and it’s my barn stove. I run it hard and got with an aftermarket blower and hand made convection deck. Aim for 700 stove top...
Whoa! So 1/2 pipe flowing full pressure lpg is a lot of energy. The regular weed burners have no blower and maybe 1/4” pipe for 500,000 btu. It’s...
So it’s just a blower motor meant to spray and ignite oil fed through the pipe stub? Or lpg?
There is another trick you must look into. You can convert your traditional ira into a Roth IRA. Yes, you will pay income tax on the conversion...
Weird. I load up against the tubes in my noncat and that thing rips! I thought you might have had a runaway before you had lack of heat.
I don’t have dampers because they wouldn’t work well with chimney sweeping. Turns out I don’t miss it!
If you were in the southern hemisphere I’d bet the left side would burn hotter. Maybe. I just can’t imagine loading a stove with 2 sticks like that.
Lots of tri-tip in Washington. We love it so much that we don’t even buy beef steaks anymore. It’s super cheap too, same price as burger if you...
Pretty hard to test a flue probe meter. They are designed with the actual spring at a distance from the heat source and with the heat shield from...
My condar probe meter has been a great buy. I’m over 10 years on it and it has performed perfectly. Held the same zero too. I’ve even accidentally...
Exposed foam eh? You know why you aren’t allowed to leave foam exposed in a living area? That stuff burns like crazy, spreads fast, and bellows...
Set at 105 on top of the convection deck.
And don’t forget that those exposed spade terminals will have 120 volts so it’s nice to cover them with plastic or some other insulator. I unplug...
