    does anyone make a 75% efficient wood stove?

    My fireplace has just as many bricks as those Russian jobs, just no baffle to slow smoke or HEAT on it's way up the chimney. This company is listing its non-catalytic wood stoves that they think will meet the 75% efficiency. http://www.quadrafire.com/Tax_Credit/stimulus-tax-credit-stove.asp...

    does anyone make a 75% efficient wood stove?

    Based on this http://www.hpba.org/index.php?id=34 they are going to use a lower heating value to determine efficiency. My local stove shop showed me a letter from Jotul that said all of their stoves are expected to be 75% or higher and eligible for the tax credit with testing and documentation...

    Lost my paper birch, now what.

    Cut it up for firewood or save a length for the mill I would like to get eventually and use it for a woodworking project. If I save a length, should I protect the ends or leave them to encourage spalting? I'm not sure if it is paper birch, black or yellow used for woodworking so... Birch...

    028 brake handle interchangeable?

    Bowtie, I have the older chain brake in PES+'s pictures in the thread above that kogafortwo needed and the same one you described. Because of the way people slice and dice up saw parts on ebay I was thinking I may need to gather parts. I wanted to see if I could put a new handle on an old...

    028 brake handle interchangeable?

    search hints? Ahh man, I figure the information is out there. I can't find it. I gave up searching and posted. I didn't think this was a tough question. Must be 028 fatigue. There are 1000s of threads in this forum alone. I have read a lot. I have created a "028 - best of AS" word doc...

    Will the newer chain brake/ hand guard with the 2 cut outs swap with the older no cutouts guard and work with the older partial wrap chain brake? Thanks, mech

    028 WB Diagnosis

    Maybe you already have a solid state ignition. In the attached pic "Old Coil", The kill switch wire ran under the flywheel with the other wire from the coil. The new coil has a spade connector that the kill switch attaches to. mech

    028 WB Diagnosis

    If you are going to buy tools. Get a spark tester (see attached). I have 3 from when I wanted to compare each coil on my old Evinrude when running. This has been a great tool. If I only pulled and watched a grounded spark plug, I would have probably seen a spark and moved along. This showed...

    028 WB Diagnosis

    I just installed an aftermarket coil/solid state ignition in my old 028wb. Equivalent to Stihl Part #0000 400 1300 I could always get it to run and idle, but wouldn't always rev. Sometimes feathering the throttle just right would get it to rev. Looking back, I think it was more heat...

    The 028 bandwagon.....

    I have an 028 WB. My new hobby is looking at pics of 028's trying to see if they would be a good matching parts saw, based on what I have read here. The chain brake handle with 2 openings and the vents on top and in front of the pull start tell me that yours is newer than mine and an...
