Thanks for the opinions guys! Gives me something to think about.Burn mostly white oak, yellow birch, ironwood and maple. Mostly white oak. Biggest is in the 30" range but not too much that size. Too big to handle to split. Most maybe in the 8" to 20" range. Hard to say. Start out big but by the...

So are the one's in the links I posted one's to pass on?

Thanks Philip. Husky is all I have ran. I do like the Husky I have ran for the last 10 yrs but not afraid to try Stihl either. I still have a Husky 41 from about 1994 that still works fine. Never been rebuilt or touched. Just replaced the fuel lines this spring. I don't know but these two...

Thanks moody. At this point don't worry about budget. Kinda looking for quality and reliability first. Here's a few ads to get opinions on. http://kingston.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-other-Husqvarna-570-Chainsaw-NEW-W0QQAdIdZ523841958...

Hey all! Been using a Husky 365 XP special that is about 20 yrs old. Never had a problem with it. It cut about 20 cord a year since new. Don't have it to use anymore. Gotta get my own now. Anyways, I'd like to get one similar but maybe a bit more power. The old one had a 20" bar. Kinda like the...

Guy I know wrapped the two sides and top on his momma bear stove in his basement with 1/2" copper pipe. On the top he spread metal shavings from a machinist over the pipes and laid a sheet of 1/8" steel over the shavings. Heated his 20X20 or so garage very well. Cement floor has pex in it and...

BINGO! Run the lowest octane fuel that you can without getting preignition or detonation. Any more than is needed will actually hurt power as it is harder to ignite . And costs more too. It's really hard to get this through peoples heads. They always think more octane or "race fuel" will give...

The guy I last bought from is from Sharbot Lake. I'll send you a PM.

How many cords are you ending up with in a single load? Are they 8' lengths and all hardwood? Would you mind passing on who your supplier is? Thanks!

I'm between Kingston and Belleville and the prices are the same as you stated. I'm in the same boat in regards to getting to the woods. I bought an 8 cord load last winter that came from Ompah. It came out to 7.5 cords. $1200. I had prices as low as $900 but have seen that suppliers wood a bunch...

I agree about the cold air return in the furnace room. There is no return in any part of the finished part of the basement. Anybody have anymore insight?

Thanks for the feedback! I know the runs were installed at 8" below the joists for the first 8 ft but not sure why the plenum is at 8" as well. I will have to ask my installer why things were installed this way. He mentioned on more that one occasion during the installation that he did things...

I installed a Newmac add on wood furnace a few years ago beside an existing oil furnace. The plenum on top of the oil furnace is box shaped with the old holes covered up and new ducting added to it to connect it to the wood furnace. I'm wondering if I had a new plenum built that would be curved...

Got it! I also had to get a new pump bracket. Anybody know what size bolts I need to bolt the bracket to the engine with as well as the bolts need to bolt the pump to the bracket. I think they are 3/8 on the bracket to engine and 5/16 on the pump to bracket but not sure of thread size. eg...

The supplier said he would give me the 15HP for $329 cdn instead of the $349 cdn as I originally asked for a 13HP they said they had but no longer do. I think I will get the 15HP for $329 as it's only $20 more than the 11HP priced at $309. I will let you all know how I make out. I'm going to...

My splitter is a copy of the Split-Fire 4290. Not a Harbor Freight. I had an older 8 HP Tecumseh snow blower that I used and I could stall it out. There's no doubt that 8 HP was a little tired when I got it but decided to use it and replace it when it died which is what happened now. Everyone...

Hey all! Need a new engine on my version of the Split-Fire wood splitter. I can get a 11 HP Lifan for $309 cdn or 15 HP Lifan for $329 cdn. Both are horizontal shaft and have electric start with low oil shutdown. They are red and white just like the Honda's. I currently have a 16 gpm pump on my...

I lined my 5 stall horse barn with hemlock a few years ago. One tase of that Hemlock and they won't chew it again.

So a dehumidifier uses almost or as much hydro as A/C? Didn't realize that. The only reason I'm doing this is that our summer was a wet one and am worried that the oak will not be dry enough. I've had my furnace fired up a bunch of times and there is a shiney black coat about the thickness of...

Hey All! I have my 5 cords of wood stored inside my basement under a non heated sun room.I have a insulated door separating this room from the rest of the basement. The wood was cut, split and stacked outside on skids with the ends facing into the westerly winds since late February. I just...
