    Anyone stack wood in totes?

    I posted about using totes for firewood over at another site. Any questions, let me know. *sigh* It looks like childish folks who run this site won't let me post the URL. Thanks bit.ly :baaa:

    Considering a 3pt chipper

    I bought a Woodland Mills hydraulic feed unit a couple months ago and I love it. We can burn here but I don't think it is a good idea burning brush in the middle of the woods. I'm trying to streamline ( touch stuff less ) my firewood operation and a I see the chipper as being a huge part of...

    Decisions, decisions! (Poll)

    Steve, I have both a geothermal furnace and a PSG Caddy wood burning furnace. Wife and I have a 27 * 52 modular w/ no basement and over the summer of 2011 we put a 24 * 32 addition out the back. We are heating / cooling around 2200 now along with 768 sq of basement. The modular is insulated...

    Defiant Encore - Something Just Isn't Right...

    Sounds like you are on the right track. I burned a VC Dutchwest for six years with a cat. As part of my yearly maintenance I would take the cat out and vacuum it. I would also vacuum the area around where the cat sat in the stove. I am not sure if it made a difference. My first year of...

    Cat and or Cats are going bad. Without spending money on a replacement, I am not sure how you could confirm this though. Scott

    To Barometric Damper or Not To

    CrappieKeith, All of the HVAC piping is metal except for hot / cold air returns that are in the crawl space underneath the house. These are insulated metal flex duct. We used these since they are in a unconditioned space. The flex duct is rated for propane / gas furnaces which can produce...

    To Barometric Damper or Not To

    Thanks for all of the replies. Sorry it took me awhile to get back to you guys but I have spent the last few days painting and chasing / hauling Amish around. I fired up the furnace a few days ago for a few hours. Then yesterday for about 6 hours. I will say the furnace is pretty impressive...

    To Barometric Damper or Not To

    Laynes, In order to keep the hot air off of the geo coil I am just going to run the geo's fan when the wood furnace is running. The geo fan is set to run at around 800CFM and I have the wooburner's fan set at the lowest speed. We thought this was the best compromise $$ wise and this also...

    To Barometric Damper or Not To

    Fyrebug, Kinda of a long story. I will give you the abbreviated version. :wink: Our existing house does not have basement and our addition did. The only way that we could tie the wood burning furnace into the new duct work and have it feed both the addition and new house was to pipe it...

    To Barometric Damper or Not To

    Laynes, Thanks for the information. I wish PSG would include that information in the manual. I am planning on firing up the furnace up next week so I will see how it draws. Thanks, Scott

    To Barometric Damper or Not To

    This is for the wood furnace guys. I recently put an addition on my house. The HVAC company installed a PSG Caddy furnace inline with our geothermal furnace in our basement. I live in Central Ohio and things are starting to get cold so I would like to fire up the Caddy for the first time. I...

    Let Me Try To "Stump" you - Pics

    Alder is my guess, but is not a very prominent wood in the Eastern U.S. My other guess would be butternut, but the growth rings are too large for butternut.

    MS290 - Lack of Power

    Neighbor let me use his Husqvarna 445 while my Stihl was down. Man that thing is sweet. My next saw will definitely have the anti-vibe stuff. I could use that saw all day long without getting worn out. Unlike the MS290. Now to the conclusion of my story. Went to a different Stihl shop than...

    MS290 - Lack of Power

    I checked the line from the fuel tank to the carb. Their are some cracks, but their is not gas leaking out of them. In the past I have always had issues with the saw just dying if I was using it on its side. Not sure if maybe that issue is what is causing my issues now. I ran the saw some more...

    MS290 - Lack of Power

    Took the carb off and did not see anything blocking either of the butterflies or impeding on there movement. I also took off the square metal piece on the top and did not see anything that should not be there. When I took the carb off I got squirted by some gas. So I do not think there is a fuel...

    MS290 - Lack of Power

    dre8982559 - The chain rolls freely around the bar and drive after it is tightened. I bought a new bar thinking that might of been the issue since the bar was getting mushroomed on the top. I filled it down numberous time but it seemed to be getting worse over time. cjrenegade82 - I ran the...

    MS290 - Lack of Power

    spacemule - the smoke is actually coming from the drive sprocket. The bar is brand new. b200 - I looked at the piston and it looked good. It had a little bit of "stuff" on the top. From what I could see of the walls they did not look to be scored and they actually had a light film of oil on...

    MS290 - Lack of Power

    I pulled the muffler off and it was not plugged. Cleaned the little bit if soot that was built up on the screen. I put another chain on the saw also and it did not make a difference. Would a bad tank of gas possibly cause this problem ?? I am going to try the same mix in my Stihl weedeater...

    MS290 - Lack of Power

    I have had a Stihl MS290 for about 4 years now. Use it mostly for cutting around 2 cords of firewood a year. I would say there might be 100 hours on the saw, but that might be a stretch. Saw has ran fine until recently. The saw seems to not have any power when I cut into a log. I have done...
