Chestnuts with Rice Here is my favorit way of eating chestnuts. 1. Chestnut Preparation Dump chestnuts in boiling watrer for 1 or 2 minutes to kill bug eggs and to soften the shell. Drain, cool, and peel shell and skin using a small knife. Put peeled chestnuts in water. After draining...

Here is what I would do. However, cut the tree at your own risk. (1) Climb the tree from the bottom to the hung up spot, and cut off tops, and come back to the bottom. (2) Lay a good size round or two under the tree where the top side of the trunk is about your shoulder height, and...

Long time ago, before I fixed my stove. My stove was not air tight at all. my stove was full with relatively newly fed logs. The temperature just kept going up to the point my stove would be damaged. All of my attempts to shut air down faild. I pulled burning longs piece by piece and ran...

I am running 1984 Heathstone HS 2. Heathstone technical person told me that trying to clean the glass of this stove is waste of time because (1) the glasses made in 80's are not as good as ones made today, (2) the secondary air holes in HS 2 are directed in a way to make the glass dirty...

Good Deal I fixed my HS2, that was 20 years old at the time of fixing. Mine was a little bit less damages than yours. Parts cost $200-$300, including the ones I had to create. Once you take it apart, you will realize that HS is very simple and easy to fix. Clean the soap stone panels very...

30-0 Long time ago, I was wondering about 25-10, and called Oregon, asked for a Technical Service Person. The person told me to just file 30-0 instead of 25-10. Noko

Mine caught knots several times and both sides have been bent badly. I should just remove and throw away them, since I use my splitter mainly in vertical position. Noko

Buy Used Locally I buy used saws locally, after meeting sellers and testing/checking saws. When I meet a seller, I take 20+" dia white or red oak well dried round with me to test cut at least several times. If I feel anything funny while test cutting, I ask if I can check the saw...

Soap stone stove is nice. I have HS2 from 1984 heating 1/2 of 2,900 sqft house. I use it from late October through late March. December through February, it runs 24/7. It looks beautiful, too. HS makes good soap stone stoves. Noko

You can look at the head of the bolt for any marking that indicates "strength", and get ones with same marking to be safe, given the bolt size is also same. Noko

660 sounds good, but 460 is what I have now. When I did not have money to buy 460, I cut this size oak with Poulan Pro 295 (46cc) with 20" bar with Oregon Low-Kickback chain. Current 460 setting is like a heaven compared to PP295 setting. I would not go back to PP295 setting, but it is...

I mainly cut red oak and white oak diameter up to 40+". My setting is MS460 with 28" bar and 20" bar. My chain choice is full comp chisel for both bars. I carry several chain loops for each bar and change them as chain gets dull. Switching bar/chain on MS460 is very quick. This setting...

I have one. I posted how to imporve it, while ago. HOWEVER, if you have not bought one yet, you should stay away from it. I would recommend to put that $30 you are about to spend aside, add $5 to the money pile everytime you hand file a chain loop, and when the money pile becomes $100 or...

Thank you for interesting information. I have been using full-comp chain on 28" bar on my 460 (stock) for bucking mainly white oak and red oak in diamter averaging around 40". This configuration has been working fine for me. I have not used skip chain, but next time I need a new chain...

Rim Sprocket I usually utilize Rim Sprocket to use different chain pitch. (Rim) Sprocket, Chain, and Bar Nose Sprocket need to have same pitch. And Bar Mortor Mount Type has to agree with the Power Head. You need to be careful selecting chain length (# of DL), since some bars call for #...

Big Flat Screwdriver I had similar situation. I used a big flat screw driver and a small rubber coated hummer (gently and little by little with testing with chain), and it worked well. You also should check the chain (drive links), if the one you are testing is the one pinched with the...
