I have a 30-NC that I bought in 2006 from Home Depot during the off season. Got it for $450. Just at the right place at the right time. I love the stove and it heats my 1900 sq ft house easily. I have never had a problem with it. As a matter of fact its running now at about 600 F. :msp_biggrin:

One of the deciding factors for me was a local dealer who rented out a 20 ton w/ Honda. It took a lot of abuse for many years with no problems. They are well built machines. I would recommend Iron & Oak to anyone looking for a quality splitter.

I bought mine here: http://www.northwestpowertools.com/tool_manufacturers/ironoak/ironoak.htm

I have had the 26 ton with the 9hp Honda for 5 years now. Great splitter. Highly recommended.

4 cord in a wood stove as supplemental to my oil furnace. That keeps the oil bill around $200 for the winter which isn't too bad. The other benefit is that the house is always at 70+ degrees.

Now here is an alternate fuel. No saw required. http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1941230,00.html

I use to hired a person every year. After watching what they did and the equipment they used I just went out and bought my own. Its simple and I save $125 a year going on 3 years now. I also burn about 4 cords.

Termidor! The ultimate in ant/termite treatment.

I just paid $4.69 a week or so ago on auto fill up. Fortunately it was only 60 gallons to fill the tank. I burned 4 cord last year and plan to try and push it to 5 this year.

Just over 4 cords. A few more days and I will be out of wood. There is always next years pile (5 cord) still drying if I really need it.

The SwedePro chaps are excellent quality. They have both 6 and 9 layer. I have the Navy blue 6 layer wrap chaps. Full calf protection. http://www.gransfors.us/swedepro.html

What type of large jobs are you anticipating?

I put synthetic (75/90) in the rear differential. Its around $9 a quart. It is what the service manual (03 Silverado) calls for. Regular (80/90) in the front. Synthetic should help you on the rear diff. if you want to stretch the service interval a little. Unless you spend a lot of time in...

Yes, my manual calls out the same. My problem was that it took a quart to get it to 3/4 inch below the fill plug. Maybe mine was just a fluke. Aaron

When I checked the differential fluid level it was low. There were no apparent leaks but it was down about a quart. It only holds about 2.5 qts. On one of the Chevy truck sites they said low fluid level from the factory was common. Probably someones idea of a cost savings. Since its...

What exacly do you mean by "not all the way seasoned". How long since the oak was cut?

Husky's and a 03 Silverado 1500. Almost 85K on the truck with no problems. Everthing is original. Even the tires. Just finally got around to changing the transfer case and front/rear differential oil.

My experience with high temp stove paint is 8-10 fires before the smell is totally gone. I used this: http://www.forrestpaint.com/stovebright/high_temp_aerosols1.html

There is always ebay. Who knows how much someone will be willing to pay for it there.
