Nice. I've had similar 8' straight weeping cherry logs (twice). I offered them to wood turners online. Guy drove 2 hrs to pick the wood up. And...
I burned 1.76 cord (I like to precisely keep track of how much I have stacked). But I only burn when it's below 40-45 for 24 hrs or more, given...
You can rip them out. Or, as I did, use some 2*4s to elevate them so more insulation can be put under them if you can use the storage. When...
I have used dry graphite. No oil no hardening. Not sure how long it lasts (or burns up). I would be similarly careful about the cat with nickel...
During and one hour after spraying it in ...
I'm late to the game, but for me the best firewood is the dry variety. Pounds are pounds and BTUs are BTUs, coming into my room as long as they...
As long as there is no independent testing showing (in however ideal situation the test was done, as long as it was done the same way for both...
Also, I would rather trust the stove mfg or the cat mfg rather than the mfg of that stuff whose sole interest is to sell you that stuff. They may...
The mfg of my cat stove. Blaze King.
If your termites are the same as in Eastern TN, don't do the sleeper logs in the ground. Termites will get you. Off the ground and without contact...
Was that after resplitting so you measured on a freshly exposed surface to get the internal moisture content?
It won't do that when you have a chimney fire pushing flaming debris out like a locomotive...
Chimney fire danger has a lot to do with what comes out the top and lands on your roof shingles... ! Cut the screen. Potato peels and cans won't...
Never use anti creosote stuff in a cat stove. Cats get ruined by it.
And this is why I like rectangular splits. Red oak (and one white oak).
With 16 ft (not very tall, so not much cool down on the way to the cap), and not very cold for the majority because inside the house, 400...
Another exclusive load. Exclusively red oak, that is.
Is this (flue) measured on the outside with a magnetic thermometer on single wall stove pipe? Or with a probe thermometer inside the exhaust gases?
There is no need to keep flue temps high, in fact that is wasting BTUs. There is one big caveat though, the top of the flue should stay above...
