    The Birds Think That Spring is Here But...

    We have actually seen buds on the trees in the last week. Poplar and Aspen are telling us it is spring. And we hit -30 yesterday(C or F, that is cold). We went though a warm spell last week and got up to +30*F today. I checked the buds today, that I noticed last week, and they have actually...

    Help! Central Boiler 5036 or Woodmaster 4400

    The questions that have been brought up have made me think of numerious questions to be asked. BTW- This is just me thinking out loud. With dealing with insulation, rather than fiberglass, why not go with something like "Ruxul" insulation. Water does not go into the insulation, but instead...

    Manitoba Wood Pics - Rated E for Everyone

    WOW! Makes me think of back home. I was 3/4 hour south of Riding Mountain National Park. I know you are a lot further North than that, but just thinking of snow and cold sure brings me back. Different pace and attitude back home. Thanks, Glenn

    Who sweeps their own chimney

    I don't know how you guys do it!!! I am only running 8" chimney, but no matter how I try, I can only reach down about 4 feet with my wife's broom(she really gets pissed when I grab her riding broom). For some reason she gets mad at me every time! I even have gone to the circus and tried to...

    It is -0?F, outside...

    With the Fahrenheit system you seldom deal in decimals. With the Metric system we deal with it every day. That is the fun. 33 in Celsius is smoking hot(91F) For the basics: North and South(western Canada) of the 49 parallel are running on two different scales of temperature. For years...

    Which 2-stage pump?

    Sorry for the OP, don't mean to but in, but I have a few questions also. I have a B&S 16 hp twin. What should I go for a hydraulic pump? Now I have a little twist for this equation. I want to also run a hydraulic auger/woodlift at the same time. If I build this right then the wood lift...

    PINE? for firewood?

    The pitch inside will sure give off a lot of "black" smoke. It sure is like it is super concentrated sap that just sits there. I find that the trees that twin off of one root sure build it up. The "pitch" wood make excellent fire starter though.

    1/2 ton pickup woodhauler reality check

    It is hard to say if it was hard due to you loading the back of the truck up. One of the biggest problems I have found is due to the quality of bearing. There seems to be more and more issues due to "cheaper" bearings. Ideal situation would be a full floating axle rather than the semi...

    I got a nice load of locust

    Just looking at the end and the rings and drying split, I would say lodgepole pine two years standing. Sure looks like a lot of the stuff I have been asked to take down. First order from the farmer is to get them away from the fence line. He will take care of the branches. Once I get all...

    Any electrical guys use thermocouples and computer?

    O2 sensors are for measuring the oxygen level in the exhaust. They don"t measure temperature. Generally O2 sensors don't start working till they are at 400 F. Good thought though. HTH Glenn

    Garage Heater Source

    The first time I set up a boiler system all I was controlling furnace squirrel cage. I was using a hot water tank as the heater, grundfos pump and diesel truck radiator. I knew that a standard t-stat would not handle the wattage (voltage times amperage) of the blower system. Standard...

    powerstroke or cummins

    Hey Tim(OP), Have you thought about converting your 1 ton with a Cummins? There are guys that have put a Cummins in their unit. You could put a 4BT or 6BT in. The 4BT is from the cube vans with either a Ford or GM manual trans behind them. Oh the 4Bt is a 4 cylinder. 6Bt is the 6 cylinder...

    FAD: Firewood Acquiring Disorder

    I know that when I am out driving I am constantly on the lookout for dead standing or dead on the ground wood. I think I have finally gone over the deep end with acquiring firewood. :dizzy: Last night I was watching a TV show and in one scene they showed a park in the city and all I could...

    powerstroke or cummins

    If it was me, I would go for the best of both worlds. Take the Cummins and put it in Ford SuperDuty body. I have a Cummins, but man the ride sucks. Love the way the SuperDuty's ride. Just looking for the right basket case to buy. If you do some searching there are companies that sell the...
