Must have been years ago. At this point I must rely on the instruments. The Condar meters haven't let me down yet. I recall the feeling that very...
I have cat stove too with efficiency equal to the best woodstock. The cat does not eat everything. You need to maintain flue temps high enough to...
I won't let the surface temps go under 200 but remember the first condition, complete combustion. In order to get that you need to be getting...
I don't expect much efficiency from a noncat. I run mine hot for highest safe output but I am fairly certain that maximum efficiency will occur at...
Click on my name and look for threads started by me. The thread title will say something about the blo. Then see the pics. It's not loud. Much...
Yes, I bought and installed the big one from Amazon. The factory blowers seriously lack cfm. I added a convection deck as well to further boost...
I never understood the folks who spent 5-6x as much for an AR as an 870 SG for home defense. It's a high powered, loud, rifle. But recently they...
Be sure to put some slope on that pipe before you mortar it in. Hydraulic cement is what I think these guys are talking about. It's a rapid...
Can you just use cheap single wall pipe? At least for testing? Nice not to have to worry about chimney fires. Taller flue might also carry the...

Whoa, you can't trust the stated cubic feet of a stove either. I've measured and was sorely disappointed when my 2.3 cubic foot hearthstone wasn't...
An insert is a compromise. It's for the guy who wants to make use of his existing masonry fireplace but doesn't want to lose floor space. They are...
Absolutely not any more credible than a four year old on the street or an environmentalist hugging a tree. You've got to learn to see past those...
Sure, some yahoo organization is always willing to say stuff like that. Really though, to be safe, you should never burn anything. Instead of...
I have two duravent chimneys. I bought the second one without the optional screen in the cap. I did this because the screen in my first duravent...
Sorry about the game. No I'm not!
I have a hard time burning the nc30 on anything but hot.
Guys, I ground the bajeepers out of 30# of beef. Used a couple of tricks, meat in the freezer for 30 minutes before cutting with a fish fillet...
While a water softener can remove a limited amount of iron it is NOT designed to be an iron filter, it is designed to be a water softener. If you...
And duravent is now owned by m&G or somebody else. Perhaps they slightly changed their manufacturing process.
