    im looking the larges wood stove that i could buy to heat my home

    Hello, I have the biggest Napoleon stove, I believe it is a 1900. I have a big house and it works great !!!! When I bought it 7 years ago, I was also looking for the biggest stove I could get. I think QuadraFire also had a big one, but I liked the Napoleon better. Henry and Wanda

    Help a dumb guy out please!

    Hello, Everybody here is correct in the calculations, however, CaseyForrest questioned why it had to be converted to inches and then back into feet. No one here explained that very well. If your measurements are in feet and inches, then it is best to convert all 3 measurements to inches...

    Anyone build an atv yard trailer fire wood hauler

    Hello, If you want nice wide tires that will hold around 800lbs. each, get some golf cart wheels and tires. I used them to build my last yard/firewood cart and they work great. I got them off of EBay. They were new take-offs from some business that customized golf carts with bigger tires and...

    Fireplace insert

    Hello, Check out the Regency Hearthstove. It is a narrow stove that is designed to sit on the hearth. That way the whole stove is out in the air and not stuffed back into the fireplace opening. We had one at the last house we owned. It worked real well. Henry and Wanda

    Firewood storage for newbie

    Hello, When I moved from my first house to my second house years ago, I took my firewood that I had stacked and split with me. I know some of it was stacked for 6 or so years and then by the time I used it, it had to be a least 10 years old. It was all fine. I always had it up off the ground and...

    Log Splitter table design and ideas

    Hello, About 10 years or so ago I made an outfeed table for my splitter. I made it out of pipe with them spaced about 2" apart. For the most part it has worked fine, but once in a while a crooked piece will dip down in between the pipes while splitting and start to push and bend the table. I...

    Buying a new saw what to get?

    Hello, A Makita 61cc is a nice saw, but probably too big for what you need. Also, a Husky 455 Rancher is a good saw. Henry and Wanda

    Wood longevity

    Hello, Years ago, when I moved from my first house to my second home, I took my firewood with me. It was at least 10 years old when I moved it and it didn't all get used for a couple more years !!!!! Keep it up off the ground and the top covered and it will last a long time !!!! Henry and Wanda

    The wisdom of your elders

    Hello, A couple months ago my friend Charlie and I were cutting up some trees on my property. All of a sudden Charlie started running and hopping like he had got bitten by a snake, at least that was my first thought. I just kind of stood there with the chainsaw running looking at him, trying...

    Who uses a LOT of kindling?

    Hello, At my last house I built a 3 car garage on the end of the house. The house was sided in lap cedar and the wall that I put the garage against had to be stripped of the siding. Man, that was the best kindling ever. You could cut it in 1 foot lengths and then split it with a hatchet....like...

    Need some tractor knowledge

    Hello, Good luck on finding anything good for 5K. Anything in that range will be real small or very old. I ended up paying 13K for a 4WD, 35HP New Holland with a FEL and cab. That was the best deal I could find and I still look at used tractor prices and they have only gone up. Also, I could...

    The Best Wood for Kindling?

    Hello, When I built a 3 car garage on my second house, I had to take the cedar lap siding off the wall where it joined into the house. That was the BEST kindling that I ever used. I just took the long pieces and cut them up to about a foot long. It was a little work, but what a payoff ...

    hauling wood with garden tractor?

    Hello, When I used to live in Maryland, my friend moved into a condo from a single family home. He asked me if I wanted his 1978 Hechinger MTD mower and cart. It has a twin 16hp Brigs. I said sure and proceeded to take off the mower deck and paint it camo. I have used it a lot and it is a great...

    Why aren't splitter wedges pointed or serrated?

    Hello, My wedge on the splitter I built is very sharp.........I milled it to a point on a milling machine......it has worked great....is still sharp enough to almost cut you....and I have put many many cords through it over the years......I wouldn't want a dull or blunt wedge !!!!!
