    A Good $1500 Wood Splitter?

    Yu Yup! Huskee/SpeeCo 35 ton splitter are a beast. I have had mine since 2008 and it stays outdoor in the NH elements all year round. Buy one, you will not regret it.

    This is what my current furnace looks like after a single season of burning. This thing over fired the first time I lit it, could not control it even with drafts fully closed and flue managed. It took many burns to just get it to a manageable burn. Friggin wife nearly lost her mind with it...

    Your comments are encouraging. I would not expect to get 17 hr burn times. That would be one overly engineered furnace. I will be extremely excited to get 7-8 hr burn times. Work nor sleep would be effected. That right there is my dream furnace. Fingers crossed.

    I certainly can understand your frustration, heating ones home with a wood furnace is a very physical and exhausting experience. Nevertheless I totally enjoy every aspect except the over stating what the products capabilities are, then struggling to teach every one in the home how to use it...

    My first two stoves never came close to the burn times that they were marketed under. They also always left a heavy bed of coals. Had to constantly stir them with very little BTU value in return. How will the Vapor Fire differ and are you getting the burn times Kuuma engineers are claiming...

    So winter is getting closer to it's end. All that you told me about the Ashley 1440E and U.S Stove came true. What a pile of junk! Firebox cracked in multiple places, would not stop over firing and I could not control it even with drafts. So I looked more into the Kuuma and spoke with Dale...

    vents, how hot is too hot?

    I am on it! How do you attach or mate probe to monitored surface?

    vents, how hot is too hot?

    I am looking for either a probe thermometer with an alarm and wireless ability to monitor remotely. Fourteen years of burning in a house of five adults, I am still the only one paying attention to the stove. They just want heat! What are you using and do you have any recommendations. FYI...

    Well spring is finally here and thank goodness... My twenty year old sons finally killed my Englander because they refuse to listen to me on the operation of a wood stove. They just want heat at no expense when I am not home. They killed it in early March while it was still cold by over firing...

    I just finished reading his plea. First off I agree with most of what he said in re-guards to the industry collapsing into a few hands. If he and others in wood burning appliance manufacturing think this gov... EPA is their drinking buddy they are sadly mistaken. The EPA's goal is to...

    Just received Ashley 1440E stove replacement on Thursday. Nearly a two month turnaround from the first crap one they sent. I am nervous since I can't get it into the basement until at least spring for a run up... long after the return date! Think I will drag it out to the driveway and fire it...

    New Chain Sharpener

    I have been looking for a decent sharpener for years and have yet to pony up for one. I have yet to see a design that works consistently. With that said I see that that the Timberline has the best design outside of the mounting block being made from aircraft grade aluminum. The design flaw I...

    I believe the puncture is from the shipping company, the rest of it is poor quality control in manufacturing. I have been dealing with USSC since the 11th of this month. I am getting nothing but the run around. STAY AWAY FROM USSC!!!!!!

    Additional pictures... I opted for full image so a thorough inspection can be done of the welds.

    So My Ashley 1440E arrived two days ago and there was a huge credit card issue, part of it was my doing. There were some price drops and some other retailers with lower prices that I got Tractor Supply to price match. Multiple charges on card that have yet to be resolved. So I decided to...

    It was just shipped today. It is one thing to see a picture un-fired but another to see it fired! You tried to warn me... went on Tractor Supply just now and found more comments that were not there before. The pictures I am posting here are from the product review. I think I am calling them...

    I appreciate your insight and advice... I bought the Ashley (Red) 1440E today at Tractor Supply online, it was the only one that met most of the specs for my need. Most of all it runs $2,500.00 from Home Depot and they price-matched it from Northertool at $1,799.00 with free shipping to my...
