    Am I doing something wrong

    That's definitely a draft problem, something has to be blocking the chimney for you to be getting smoke back out the door when the draft door and fan are running. I don't know what happens when that handle is pulled out, but I assume something has to have become disconnected and partially...

    The first of the week it's going to hover around 20, then down from there over here by the Saginaw Bay. Kyle

    Been doing lots of cutting lately. Pics and story inside!

    Ash is my favorite to burn, you can basically burn it the same day it's down. Good to see your're getting a good head start.

    Central Boiler water temp question

    If you just fired it an hour ago, the fire should still be burning heating the water up to temp. Turn off the main breaker to the boiler, you should hear the door close. Better yet, open the door and look to see that the air inlet is open. As far as the temp reading, that sounds quite off, you...

    I think he may have a few nails or staples in there is why he would sift them. Kyle

    Drying firewood

    Also if you don't dry the corn down, it won't store. That is a whole different scenario altogether. Ethanol plants won't take wet corn, nor will any other recieving facility without drying it first.

    Rain, rain go away - I'm bored...... time to learn how to sharpen a chain.

    Whenever I have a new chain made I make sure that they put two cutters facing the same direction together, that way I can start either in front of or behind those two and I know when I'm done. They come that way out of the box for my 16" Stihl chains for my 290. Kyle

    Brrrr

    We had a late, wet spring, but the crops do look good by me around the Saginaw Bay. My cousin was saying his crops were suffering til the second week in August when they finally got some rain. I had a couple of 1"+ rains one week and he didn't get a drop. Funny how the narrow fronts move...

    Would you allow access to small skidder to pull loads across your property?

    And my car could get damage from hail. Doesn't mean I am going to let the neighbor kids throw rocks at it either. Kyle

    I Finally Found a Use for the Orange Stihl Bar Oil

    We keep bar oil for the roller chains too. Before we used old hydraulic oil, but found it works better, and if that's one less thing to worry about when going full boar the better. Also works good on winch cables for the silo, doesn't take much either, just a dribble across when each wrap is...

    anyone else quit cutting due to the heat??

    Last Saturday my MIL asked if I would come over and help the FIL clean up some leaners in their yard. They are getting a pool installed next week and wanted those taken care of before the pool arrived. We set out to it and within 15 mins I was sweating like crazy. Got done and pulled the...

    Great movie

    I was flipping through the channels this morning and came across a movie title I remember reading about, Sometimes a Great Notion. I hit info, and immediately remember reading about it here. It was already 20 minutes into the movie, but I hit record anyway and have the rest of it on my DVR. I...
