And.... re: creosote buildup, is it safe to say, though, that once you reach the charcoal/coal stage, that you're not really generating creosote, since there aren't any of the initial wood compounds present in the glowing coals, no matter if they don't get the whole burner warm enough to run the...

Greetings folks! I managed to get thru the -10 cold snap here in SW Ohio without using the furnace. We have the largest Pacific Energy insert (see signature block), with SSliner. When it is usually relatively temperate, i.e., doesn't stay at 5 degrees or less all day, I usually burn down the...

Woodfarmer, correct. It has been ubelieveably fabulous weather since the great wind. No need for A/C, no need for heat.... But if you don't have any power at all for a week, it gets old. Our power is still off as of today. That's the longest I've ever gone without power in my short life...

SW Ohio I've been slowly working on an aged mighty white oak that fell due to it being hollow at the base of the trunk. See attached. We've been working on the branches and will hopefully lower the main trunk Saturday. Seems there is a full fledged honey bee hive about 10ft up the main trunk...

Green Oak Well ...Not sure if there's a separate thread for the wind damage Sunday's catastrophe as yet affecting cinci/dayton area, but here are shots of one ancient white oak that I get to cut up (yay!). It was damaged at the base by ants so it's no wonder it didn't withstand the 60-70 mph...

The summit from oregon pacific has no chute, nor pan ... ashes are in the firebox. Thus when you clean them out, they come out via the front door. When the ash is hot/warm, it tends to rise up out of the bucket, putting a layer of fine dust on everything in the great room. (When I feel...

Thanks ... it will be interesting to see how well the filter(s) work. And... I'm assuming that it can handle smallish live coals, since it is fireproof. In my wood burner, there is no ash pan, so I have to sort of scoot larger burning pieces off to one side and hope I've removed most of the...

ANy one have any experience/reviews of the 6amp 3 gallon canister vacuums that run from $229-$239? My SUMMIT Oregon Pacific is great, but removing the ashes, especially if they are a bit warm or have a few coals in'm tends to be the main source of ash dust that descends all over my great...

Summit Burner - Including Analysis We have a SUMMIT Pacific Energy insert. Depending on the wood type, and the size of the logs relative to how many I can place in the firebox, it will burn over night from say 11pm thru about 6am, though that's pushing it. I don't always drop the air control...

Btw... I use black rubber straps to hold down the sheets so that the wind doesn't bother me over the winter. I also run a single layer of steel sheet along the TOP rail of the fence on the windward side (facing west) - left in the picture, so as to minimize a bit of the winter windriven rain...

Indeed.... I did split 2 different samples, one from a tree that died (as it were) from a storm on 6/4 or so, and another that is much older like felled last year). The former was 40% + inside as one would expect, and the latter was 29%. I covered it today with my steel sheets to minimize...

Greetings one and all. I have been stacking up my wood, along a 300ft fence, 1 row; I split and stack it, and cover it with a bunch of old corrugated steel roofing sheets that used to grace my barn. I have been intrigued of late by the discussions re: moisture content. However, I've not...
