Hi everyone. I haven't commented in quite some time (done some sporadic lurking), but I had to come out of the shadows for this. This is VERY...
Good thoughts, thanks!
Very cool. Glad I'm not the only one. Super cool to have peeps to talk about this stuff with here. And Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks, Dennis!

I used a metal ash bucket until I got my ash vac this week -worked fine. Except I kept filling the room with ash!
Yeah, don't get me wrong, unless I'm sleeping the fire is rocking! I just try to plan a day each week where I can clean it -I've dubbed that day...
Good question. My insert cuts my oil consumption down by 1/2 so I don't actually burn 24/7. It runs all waking hours, but I don't load past...
Update: I just used my new Powersmith for the first time and it worked great! Super easy and quick to start using out of the box and very...
