    Stihl MS280 hard to pull

    I have a ms280 and it wasn't running right, found out it was a torn intake boot with the advice from someone on here. If I remember correctly it's a common issue with the 280s.

    Wood stove rope door gasket

    I put the wd-40 on while I am using it and maybe once or twice in the off season. I should state this is for an outdoor boiler.

    Wood stove rope door gasket

    I spray mine with some wd-40 every few weeks. Seems to help the longevity some.

    What got you started in heating with wood?

    I decided to put an owb in the year after propane hit $5 a gallon. Of course it hasn't been that high since.

    Boilers again

    I have been researching a lot lately about what's out there. Been thinking about replacing my nature's comfort 175 with a gasser to cut down on the amount of wood I use. I got it narrowed down to heatmaster g200 or the crown Royal pristine 7200. Kind of leaning towards the crown tho. Closest...

    Same thing was happening with mine. I put a new air filter on and it helped. Even though I was cleaning the old one with the air compressor it still needed replaced.

    OWB struggling to heat the house

    Same thing happened to me last year. After looking into a few things I figured out it was my wife had crap piled up in front of every return vent. Probably over half had boxes right up against them and the other half had some form of furniture near by. I doubt it is from the same problem but...

    Have I made a big mistake by buying a new MS362 saw?

    Just ran mine with a 25" bar and a full skip chain in some oak wider than the bar and it did fine. I usually use a 20" on it with regular chain.

    Splitting/Chopping Tool Review Thread

    Nope, it doesn't need to be sharpened. You can if you want but I don't know if it would gain you much.

    Splitting/Chopping Tool Review Thread

    Got the replacement in the mail already, it was a very easy process to get the replacement. I would say the isocore isn't near as sharp as the X27 but it doesn't have to be. It seems to hold its edge better though.

    I have had a Natures Comfort 175 for 3 years with no major issues. Its really a simple unit and they make one that you can use coal in. I would say its middle of the road for efficiency, I am using about 2 chord a month to heat 4200 sf and hot water. I have heard good things about the...

    Splitting/Chopping Tool Review Thread

    I got an isocore this fall and love it for driving wedges and splitting more difficult pieces. I managed to split the head in 2 tonight hitting a wedge. We will see how fiskars warranty holds up. Can't believe I broke it.

    New Firewood Fork Grapple

    Would be sweet if you could figure out a way you could still pick up pallets with the grapple on. Looks like you could still pick one up but it couldn't be super high.
