    No More Heating With Firewood In New York?

    NYS is also now, in small areas, not allowing new natural gas installations, again, in certain areas. I read on one for the NYDEC emails, they will, at some near future, begin on western NY. No gas furnace, no gas hot water tanks, no gas fireplaces. They're already doing this in NYC. They want...

    the "loud exhaust" bill was just introduced in 2021. usually inspoections didn't bother checking if you had glass packs, or even no mufflers on a motorcycle. Now it mandatory in order to pass.

    venting a brick fireplace with outside air

    This house is too air tight. If i build a fire in the fireplace, i need to open the sliding glass door to get air to it. You can actually see the fire die down slightly when i close the door. If she runs the dryer, it draws air thru the fireplace and cuts the fire down. If i don't have a fire...

    Increasing fireplace efficiency without an insert?

    i have used something like this for years in our fireplace. Ours is an older version (i could not find any pics of it) but these things do throw a lot of heat and we use it with glass cabinet doors, which we keep closed when a fire is going. yea, i know, they say not to do that. I also made sure...

    Chimney question

    Chimney question

    i went up and covered the flue for the unused fireplace downstairs to seal it off. i'll do a fire tonite and test it. if it works, fine, i'll figure out where to go from there. if it doesn't i'll try the window being open. thanks!!

    Chimney question

    House has two fireplaces, one up, one down. When making a fire in the upstairs fireplace, it seems like the lower one draws the smoke from the fire back into the house, from the top of the chimney.. The flues at the top are side by side and only maybe 8 inches apart. . My theory is that when...

    Advice needed for log splitter engine shaft off by 5/8", cannot find an adapter...

    i use vertical engines on mine. I have a series of holes for different types of engines. I find those engines are more available and the love joy always lines up to whatever i put on there. To make sure i have a perfect alignment, i use a ring compressor to align them, then tighten the engine down.

    cutting hickory

    we dropped three large hickory trees. Back north, I've cut down numerous shag bark hickory without any issues, but moved down here to Kentucky, so i guess the hickory down here must be different. Anyway, one of the Mexicans who helped me drop it, told me i better cut it up while it's green...
