    Does anyone have a corn burning stove?

    on the money... Heatsaver is doing the math correctly. Corn versus LP because of the BTU's corn can generate many times a guy can burn corn over $4-bu and pay himself back...I forget the exact #'s but the ratio is something like 5.3 to 1 (Gal propane to Bu corn)...Corn burners work for...

    ??? are you just looping the air from your wood furnace through your gas furnace and sucking it back in to be heated again??? Can you try to close off your gas furnace...maybe (just temporary) take out the furnace filter on the gas unit and replace with a piece of plywood or cardboard to...

    Does anyone have a corn burning stove?

    tinker nothing... Seriously, I would have to tinker with mine from time to time...usually about 2:30am when the wife's elbow finally found my ribs...usually had to do with a clinker build up which caused me to empty the burn pot (imagine digging out all the coals of your stove tonight at 2am)...

    Don't Understand the Shouldn't use a Top Handle Saw on the Ground Thing

    Have used a top handle for many years on the ground removing smaller limbs before bucking...I think they are the shiznit for this application...My son helps me most times and while it's the smallest saw it's also the saw we have the safety conversation about the most. From my opinion, because...

Not to jump on the pile but...it's but I run a 600p (60 cc) and wouldn't want anything larger than a 20" bar if i'm planning on cutting all day...I think your just pulling the saw down way too far...as far as chians going dull...if im cutting all day I will take at least 4 chains, two to...

    Chainsaws vs Wild Things.

    deer hunting... Last Saturday I was dropping and bucking some cherry...I had dropped and limbed a few and began bucking, the saw sputtered letting me know that I needed to let her cool off and then I could give her a drink and begin again. I had just killed the saw, set it down on the stump...

    So what does cutting wood have to do with fishing...watch

    I am also a predator...my eyes are in the front of my face...not on the side...and I am a part of the life cycle. Being on top of the food chain I also take responsibility in a quick kill and I eat what I take. I also take responsibility in maintaining a healthy fish population letting breeders...

    At what point did you buy a splitter?

    year before... I bought the splitter (used for $600) from a friend after borrowing it from him for two weeks. This all took place the year before I started to heat with wood. I also have the fiskars ss axe and use it quite a bit. For me it was about a long term investment of heating with wood...

    New to heating with wood furnace, have some questions

    not exactly the same, but... I have a FireChief furnace and it's similar to yours. I understand what you are saying about keeping it in the safe burn and for a short while I too was concerned. What I have discovered and do is: When I refill the furnace I keep a close eye on the temp of the...

    Insurance

    CYA...local I had conversation with previous agent that I needed to install "fireproof wall covering" because the furnace was in garage attached to house. I explained that the garage wall was 2 layers of 5/8 per local building code to give me a firerated wall...but if that wasnt good enough I'd...
