    My wood pile from space is sad. :( The picture was taken at the end of burning season so there is no wood.

    OWB fed Garage Heater - Forced Air or Radiant?

    Yup water is always moving, (and it is hot :) ). I was going to insulate them, but I figured a little radiant heat loss in the garage would warm it up a little with out having to run the fan. (The heater is just in my attached 2 car garage, so a little warmer in there, is only going help the...

    OWB fed Garage Heater - Forced Air or Radiant?

    Blackdog, what kind of fan do you have behind it? is it something you built yourself? Also is that just think sheetmetal to direct the air?

    OWB fed Garage Heater - Forced Air or Radiant?

    OWB fed Garage Heater - Forced Air or Radiant?

    I did the same thing as Guswhits setup, small blower motor 100 dollar hx from ebay, bent some stainless to join them together and a 110 thermostat. I don't keep the garage heated all the time, so it is nice when you want to quickly warm it up. If you were heating it all the time radiant might...

    OWB Insurance Rates

    Prior insurance company just didn't want it right next to the house (mine is 110'). Switch to new company told them it was there, no problem. A month into the policy I get a wood stove question. I was not happy but filled it out. A couple weeks later I have 1 month to have it inspected or they...

    firewood trailer recommendation

    One thing with the truck vs trailer at least in MI. Trailer one time permanent plate of ~100 bucks. Truck - Year registration of 100 and insurance Min 600 yearly. A couple years into owning the truck and you could have bought a really nice trailer. I agree a dump is overkill. I just have a...

    firewood trailer recommendation

    What about single axles vs tandem? It seems like you would overload the single axle before you had it filled up with wood. Or maybe I misunderstanding how the the axle rating.works.

    I put a 10 plate hx in, and it keeps everything up in the 130-140 range as long as long as there is a fire, and the nice thing was the hx was like 35-40 bucks. :)

    Tractors and Trailers

    Cheese, - Ya that would be prop smarter haha. The stacks are only 20 feet or so from the rounds and splitter. I have found that it is quicker to split it and just toss into the trailer and when that is full just drive it right next to the stack, rather than split a piece stop splitting to...
