Gets 90% out. Some stuff will sit around the wheel wells. Used it for wood also. Works very good, I did have a...

    Heat for Pole Barn...Radiant vs. Forced

    I heat a 32x48 12'ceilings with a hanging heat exchanger. Keep shop @ 40* when not in there . Take it up to 65 while working. Takes about an hour to raise temp .I find it works well this way. Water is on demand so no heat loss while not using shop. I use a Ranco thermostat to control the temp...

    burning pine

    If you have plenty of hardwood then i can see passing on pine . Lots of people here burn it . Great to mix in . Keep it dry and seasoned. Pine is not junk.

    burning pine

    My point was that if you sold a load for just 50 then you would have made 200 for the wood . Everbody's different for sure. Simply saying that that pine is not junk and burnt right can save tons of money on the heating bill.

    Shaver Improvement Forum

    I've heard of some guys switching to rope .They were having problems with the glue that holds the rope breaking down . I think using silicone to hold the rope in place works good. I just drilled and tapped the bracket and used a 3/8 bolt with a head off a 3/4 bolt welded on the backside to...
