I'm sure I could, just not sure how to burn them without making Ethonal? Don't need any of that around Messing up my saws!.[/QUOTE] E10 is OK. Yes, even in your saw. You'll be just fine...
I'll have to go take a look at the stove. If I recall, he said it was an earth stove, but it doesn't have the typical look of them. Let me see if I can find a pic.
Looks like at least one model of earth stove to me. Earth Stove : Wood, Gas and Pellet Stove Parts I'm far from any stove expert though.
I agree Horkn...... Beautiful home, jtstromsburg Bet ya can't wait to move in! I'm getting excited for ya
Howdy, neighbor... have the cheesy Stromsburgers insisted that you make one of those stupid plywood Dala horses, yet? We've got a house (well, that might be a stretch) over there in the burg and I've always been tempted to make one that is umm... anatomically correct, shall we say... and put it up in the yard. I'm pretty sure the city council would show up with torches, pitchforks, a bucket of tar and a bag of chicken feathers! Still, the temptation is great.... We'll have to hook up sometime and grab some coffee at the Corner Cafe...
I'd like more inside info on the plywood horse joke, sounds hilarious! By all means if you two meet at the corner cafe, pls post pics
One of our past governors came to Stromsburg during the annual Swedish Festival back in the 1960s and declared Stromsburg the "Swedish Capital of Nebraska" in spite of the fact that there are actually slightly more Germans here than Swedes, and numerous other towns with higher Swede count. I think he was running for re-election at the time and may have just been kissing azz to garner rural votes... who knows? Anyway... here is a picture of an actual Dalecarlian, or "Dala" horse... small, wood carving... Well, the Stromsburgers like to put these plywood or OSB versions... about 3' high, just silhouettes painted in allegedly traditional colors... out in their yards, on sidewalks downtown, etc. during the Swedish Festival. They never have tails and they're all identical except for the paint job. The tail thing may be a misguided tradition. Excavated examples of them in Sweden in recent years seems to indicate that they were most often used as toys for children, who would cut a lock of their hair and make the tail for them. Hair doesn't preserve well, so somewhere along the line when the tradition was revived, they just assumed there wasn't supposed to be one. Anyway, I once threatened to start making the things and selling them... with tails and other anatomical details not normally used... at the coffeeshop a few years back. It was like I told them that Elvis was actually a Mexican woman that wore a lot of makeup. I got alll kinds of grief about Swedish tradition blah blah yada yada you commie heretic blah blah. I also thought it would be cool to make some llama cutouts painted the same way, and call them Dala Llamas. They didn't get the joke.
