Anyone out there with this type of stove.
I just bought it this year, I have questions about its operation! Someone with experience with this type, please respond!
im into long burn times and pine is gopher wood ,toss one log in ...and go-pher another.
I got desperate last lear and bought 1 load of firewood for my OWB. it was feb, snow on the ground and no 4X4 to get to my usuall spots. when the guy showed up, he spent a long time asking about the stove, then somehow pine was brought up. he said he has a tree removal service and had 6 big pines to cut out over the next couple of days. no one around here would think of burning pine, so he asked me if i knew a good dumping ground close by!!! I offered him a little money to dump it here, but he said he would not feel right about making money on it twice (someone with morals! i thought we were almost all gone!). in the end, i slipped his helper some cash when ever i caught them at the house, and they brought me a LOT of pine, all cut to lenght, and stacked it in my shed for me. i started my stove last month and i must say i have got no problem burning pine. I have only one bit of advice... i add some hard wood the the bottom of the pile when i load the stove. two days in a row the fire actually went out when the stove shut down. It doesnt seem to break down into loose hot coals like other wood does, i think that had something to do with it.
If you use it as a fire starter, I agree. That's as far as I go with it.If you mix it with hardwood, I agree!
