Congratulations on your citizenship, American Bob! By what you've shown here, we are a better place for it. :)
I've been blessed with the traditional New England "hole in the ground with rocks piled in a mostly square shape" basement, so I think the stacks...
Maybe it's a good place to set up a tree stand, and he meant "for harvesting wildlife purposes." :) Either way, great score! Loves me some red oak.
Fire in the hole tonight. No chimney for the IS yet, so it's back to the owb for the inaugural fire of the year. Didn't get out of the 60s today,...
Who is John Galt?
I believe the quoted weight for the IS interior soapstone was only about thirty pounds. Check the manual for instructions, I haven't opened mine...
Mine is only about eight inches. To maintain 2 inch clearance, I would have to cut flush with the house or have the chimney sitting almost a foot...
Reverse the ratio and we can talk. The "20 cord" is probably one big nasty tree hanging over his house with hot wires going through it, that...
Not doing this one myself, too much risk for me being right under the electrical drop. Finally got a bid to sign today, with a very reasonable...
I'm moving some black locust that I css almost exactly a year ago and the bark is falling right off. I hate handling wood more than once, but I'm...
Oops. Should have labelled "Carrymost" instead of "Carryall" I guess. Sorry about the wounded equip!ent, but nice score anyway! Loads of splits in...
I'm in a similar boat. managed to get the IS inside and up onto a furniture dolly between myself and my buddy's wife who was an awesome spotter...
Sheesh, I think your stacks are straighter and more squared than my house. Nice work, Master Jenga! :)
Once it's cheaper to do here than ship it to China, we will figure it out. Small industries are popping up already, there is a local guy who...
Yep. Grubex will take care of them. They come to dig the grubs - kill the grubs, skunks leave.
I can attest to this with a little data. I got a moisture meter recently, being brand new to indoor burning (owb convert as of this coming season)...
Having just picked up my IS and gotten the lowdown a short seven days ago, the mantra I was taught is "welds up." That said, from reading here I...
It's only ugly til ya burn it! One thing I'll miss about running an owb is the ease of disposing of uglies, bark, splitter trash, etc. A guy can...
Seems to run somewhere between red maple and ash up here. That's white, or paper birch. Yellow and black birch, different story. Black especially...
Measurements sound about right. If I fill my six foot bed with rounds up to the top of the cab it nets about 3/4 cord. I like to make liberal use...
