    Mattox Energy Saver

    Did a test run this evening and fired the stove up. Started at 8pm it was 31* in the barn, at 10pm it was 65* in the barn. I was really pleased with the amount of heat this stove puts out it's amazing. I was really shocked with how much wood you can put in this thing though. Probably put in...

    New firewood machine

    A Kubota with a loader is on my need and want list. All my wife knows though is the wood racks get filled every year using a 87 Simplicity 9020 and my old 76 Highboy so she doesn't see the need. Beside she helps unload the truck when she's around, I just need to rub some dirt on it and move on...

    Mattox Energy Saver

    I found out why no one knows about these stoves, it's because their custom built by a man named Jerry Mattox in the Salem - Campbellsburg area here in Indiana. I didn't realize it but I have another uncle with a shorter-wider version in his basement for the past 35 years. I guess he makes them...

    Mattox Energy Saver

    I took the old flanged flue pipe off and blew off the pipes inside with a air compressor. Not bad but did have some creosote chips that was flaked. I saw a small hole in one of the pipes on top, hope it doesn't smoke, we'll see. The bottom grates are five steel C channels going across with...

    Mattox Energy Saver

    Looked at the tubes today they look ok. Back panel looks easy to remove, has a cap that open to the air way. Was wondering if I needed to worry about a log grate sense the bottom is a grate more or less over the ash pan and the ash pan has the air controls. Last picture is stove that is being...
