    I'm new to this club so hello to all my fellow burners out there--my first question is about my woodburner--it's a vogelzang frontiersman model vg450elg--open the glass door and look up there's an 8x8 metal plate suspended 2-3" below the flue--it has curled down in the front--like a bullnose countertop i guess from the heat--anyway to fix this? it limits the logs i can jam in there--secondly how to meet some others as nuts as i am about hoarding, conservation of trees, and such:handshake:

    well thanks guys for the hardy hello and concern--yeah this picture thing will be interesting--if i have a pic on a cell phone (flip) how can i get it to fhc site? and what do you want to see?? a pic of my woodburner would maybe be exciting or my wood pile i guess or perhaps my GMC loaded with wood i cut in someone's yard while they were in sunny florida--and this computer is only here at work as i don't have one (or want one) at home--no tv suits me fine--i'm a xm radio junkie as well as hoarding firewood so you see what you have your hands on--so send step-by-step and i'll start snaping

    yeah, maybe it's just north east but rounds are lengths of a log usually about 16 inches long.. splits are are made by splitting rounds into smaller pieces.. How you choose to split is up for discussion. I got wedges sledge hammer and splitting mall but tend to split the elm and others with a hydraulic splitter.

    scavenger Welcome aboard!
    You asked about your wood stove and it sure does sound like it is from heat. Has the stove been overfired? Maybe?
    You will find lots of advice here. The pic posted just fine....by the way, FHC really likes it when you have pics! And it has nothing to do with the illiteracy rate, really!

    I don't know what over firing is--you mean jamming in as much as possible so i don't have to get up but 3 times throughout the night to restoke?--hope those days are behind me for several months--and what are some popular gatherings (festivals, parties) FHC might endorse or recommend in my neck of the woods? ha ha
