I did this a year or 2 ago and I can confirm it is well worth the investment/time. It can be a PIA in spots where there may be plumbing etc., but...
I experience much of the same and was what I was trying to say in my last post. I don't have a flue temp gauge. So going by STT: I usually have...
I get up at 5:30 and am usually loading the stove by 5:40. By 6:15 I usually have her dialed down to where she'll stay. Quick shower, get...
Thanks everyone! I hope she'll want to spend some time in the woods with dad! :yes:
Haha, absolutely! Thanks!
This is from the mid part of one of the trees I cut today. The base was about 20". I thought it was red oak by the bark initially because that's...
Thanks for the welcome!
Nice! Good morning to be out for sure. No wind and reasonable temps. Fine snow just started here about an hour ago. Hopefully we stay cold enough...
Got a couple loads out before the storm. Sitting by the stove now wondering how much snow or slop we'll actually get haha.[ATTACH]

Coors Original, some refer to it as the "Banquet Beer" around here. Yep, upper level of a walkout ranch. That side is all above grade with a...
Awesome! Can't wait to hear how it works out for you :dex:
Here is an older but better picture of the hearth. I did all the work myself including installing the zero clearance unit. The mantle is actually...
Hahaha I know it wasn't the best picture but I was watching the Giants game.
Nice. I'm usually drinking Busch but I couldn't pass on those bottles when I saw them. Been a while since I had the Banquet Beer :cheers:
Honestly, I never tried to dump that much weight. I would say it probably would without any problems. I offload by hand since I stack it on...
It's all been down for a long time. A little punky on the outside but good heart wood. And thank you!
Cut 2 loads today. Not much but it all adds up. Red oak blow down in the background is next.[ATTACH] Enjoying the fruits of my labor with some...
