Pacific Energy Summit I would look at this one. It has a higher efficiency rating, may or may not put out more BTUs depending on how QF rates there stoves.( I couldn't figure this out in 30 seconds or less, so I will leave that up tp you). But it has great burn times, comes in a bunch of...

Looks lovely to me I would surely like to have the problem of watching out for my feet. Seems it would be easier than watching out for my back from all of the bending over like I am doing now. Besides that thing doesn't burn much fuel when it's just idleing.

Hard to say the best Not getting a lot of great answers here to a difficult, but sincerely asked question. I would personally say that the Pacific Energy Summit in one of their porcelain enamel finishes would be real hard to beat. I love them because they are a super efficient stove that puts...

Doug Fir not so much I have had little to no luck getting DF cones to do much in the way of putting of flames. It is kind of weird. I grew up on the East coast and could always use dried pine cones as fire starters, but out here on the West coast, I haven't had any luck no matter how dry I kept...

I have a Pacific Energy Pacific insert and love it, compared to the Lopi propane insert that was in there. It puts out a bunch of heat and if my house wasn't a cedar timber frma home with 29' ceilings in the main room, I think it would drive me out of here. That being said, it doesn't get very...

I would definitely run synthetic (mobil1 is my choice, but there are many good ones). It doesn't take very much and you will probably only have to change it once a year. Most of these engines are splash lubricated, so synthetic would be a cheap investment in the longevity of that motor. Believe...

Brushbandit, thanks for the response, but I will have to disagree. The Iron and Oak in the picture costs about $2600 plus a bit for delivery if you don't have a way to off load it for yourself. The Ariens is only $1200 dollars. They seem to have had a good reputation at one point for making...

Guess I should have said that it was $1200 not the internet price of $1600. I am not into paying retail, and wouldn't have asked if it hadn't been a pretty good discount. I am eyeing a Ridgid pressure washer with the Subaru engine and Cat pump, and I may talk to a manager about a little discount...

Was the the Home Depot today, and on the way in noticed they had a Ariens 27T on sale. Anyone have any experience with these particular units? I know that the Subaru engines are the cats pajamas, but the cycle time was 16 seconds. I read the reviews on the website and they were mostly positive...

This whole thing is a crock of Sh#%. If you will notice there isn't any mention of energy shortages anymore. The price is being driven up the same way it was for houses a few years ago. Not long ago it was not legal to purchase fuel futures without actually taking possession of the product. This...

Best peice of junk saw out there, performance wise. They may be a pain to rebuild, but I hate to admit that the one I had, cut with my 361 before it was broken in. Someone that didn't find this site could be happy with one for the rest for the rest of their lives.

Tried to get some pictures of the branch tips, but the two that I have cut down so far were pretty beat up when they got to the ground and they have been dead for a little while. There are too many big leaf maples around them to find any leaves from whenever they may have had some. I have a few...

Chucker you sound pretty sure. Do they have these in MN? I think I agree with you that it is Cascara, I looked at a million DNR sites and never saw anything about this tree. Here are a few more pictures of one of the trees. Anyone know how it is for firewood?

They are more than likely natural growth, the branches don't droop like a willow usually does though. I will try another picture of the tree with some better light.

Not to take sides here, but the factual info that is missing here is what your Dad said to the dealer. It is still rediculous that they would take off your muffler, and say that they can't tune it that way, but maybe it is an EPA thing. I would definitely get my parts back, and see if I couldn't...

I am pretty sure that it is deciduous, I have cut a bunch of hemlock and alder, and it is definitely not that. I wish that I could find a live one to see the leaves, but there aren't any, on my property. It grows fairly straight and then grows a bunch of branches that all grow upward. It...

Thanks for the thoughts so far. Yeah, spalt is basically the beginning part of rot, this was the first round of the bottom of the tree and the rest is not nearly as rotten. Mostly woodworkers call it spalt, it still has to be hard and useable though, not soft or punky. This was the softest round...

Any ideas ?? Do I need to take some more pictures? I tried to take pics of a couple of the trees stills standing, but it was already too dark to get enough contrast to really see much in my woods. Any guesses??

I feel like I should have been able to find this somewhere on the net, but was unable to find pictures of a tree that looked like this one. I think it would be easier with the leaves. However, these trees are deader than the US Constitution, and therefore won't be having anymore leaves to look...

I don't know much about porting, but it looks good to me. I definitely like the intake. The last videos were pretty good too. Can't wait to see the results in the next vid.
