They say the PEs burn long for a non-cat, but we've never loaded hers full to see how long it will really go..
White Ash, Maple, BL,??
OK. I was also gonna ask how your draft was. A short chimney would also be more prone to smoke buildup in warm conditions. I like BDF's idea of...
Even with just that, these stoves seem to ride the coals for a long time, putting out decent heat.
Nice grab! If the shorties are 1/2 length or less of a regular split, I make some wedges and mix two in here and there when stacking full-length...
Nice get. :cool: If those shorties will cut to a length where two, side by side, will fit in the stove, I stack 'em mixed in with full-length...
Secondary is starting there, but the holes in the baffles will be lighting big flame when she gets rockin'. :cool: If ya got dry wood..
If you get nowhere hitting 'em in the middle, try slabbing off chunks by working around the edge.
Nice! :thumbs: You don't have to go to the gym either, after a few hrs. walkin' 'em up the hill. ;) I still hand-split some of the easy woods,...

All great, useful fuels. You hit, my friend! :thumbs:
Wow, bro, you guys don't mess around do ya?!! :cool: I think I see some Red Oak, and White..what else?
Great grab; The King of all Firewoods! :cool: We have plenty on the property, but the Mighty Oak never dies. I have to wait for a blow-down or...
Without closeup split wood face, end-grain and bark pics, this thread is sorely lacking. ;)
I know whatcha mean about the big rounds. At my advanced age, I now use a peavey to maneuver them into position. ;)
I don't have a hybrid, but a straight-cat Keystone. I open the bypass for a couple minutes to cool the cat off before opening the door to reload,...
Yeah, don't wanna lose the rich history in the original thread. :thumbs: And as far north as he lives, we have plenty of burn reports to look...
