5/75 It is dipping near zero and highs touching 20. Supposed to drop below zero this week. Burning a mix of oak and other hardwoods. I have...
The only 500i that impressed me was ported by Scott Kunz. It was a respectable saw with a good square ground chain.
That’s crazy. Hard to believe it was intact after all that. We just had to bust a slug out of ours again. It was below the clean out. We found...
Don’t you mean log-opening?
A good sharp edge matters. Trying to crush and tear apart end fibers right away doesn’t help at all. A file or grinder can put a nice edge on the...
are you going to put it on?
what about the other motor you mentioned?
4.2 gpm at 1,500 psi is 4.1 hp. That motor is working pretty hard at that pressure. 1,200 psi is 3.25 hp.
That’s a good score! What gpm are you running for the two stages? Mine is 14 gpm total, and 1.8 gpm on the high pressure side. It usually...
Your cord becomes a limiting factor as the amps go up. I have a 100 ft 12ga cord on mine and it does fine. You should be ok with the same cord...
I can double check, but I’m pretty sure it’s 17 amps.
Tonnage is over rated. I converted my splitter to electric and have it turned down to about 17 tons and it runs a 4 way like a champ. I am using...
That sounds like a house that is out-drafting the chimney.
cezar, that looks good. It seems top down might be good for smaller fireboxes with secondaries above. That may be the difference in opinion and...
I put my splits in the box and then a few smaller pieces or slivers of wood in front. Sometimes a few pieces of paper on the side just to get the...
There is nothing quick about a top down fire unless you are lighting a pile of tinder.
How does the “air velocity push back on you”? How does it heat the stove faster if it takes longer for it to get going?
I can’t speak for him, but we sometimes get s backdraft if tge wind is out of a particular direction. It makes high/low pressure zones on...
You didn’t miss a thing. Top down is something some people like. It works, but why bother? I light mine from the bottom or close to it and I...
Having your own splitter is definitely on the list of items to have.
