    Prepping a saw for sales.

    I use brake clean, WD 40, and a compressor. Never seems like it damages anything, brake clean eats away the grease and WD 40 gives the saw a shine.

    You know you heat with wood when.....

    You fall asleep in the room where you have your woodburner. In the middle of the night, you stock the firebox and fill the water pot on top of the stove. Tap dancing at the sink, and at the stove as you pour the water into the pot, cause you should of hit the bathroom first.

    You go to the local carnival with the kids and win all the prizes at the High striker/Ring the Bell game cause of all the years of splitting, swinging mauls and axes.

    You know you heat with wood when.....

    I burn a few five gallon bucks a year, only at night when I don't think I am going to up in time time to reload the stove and don't want it to go out. I throw a few lumps in on very cold nights, just for a little extra insurance that I will have some coals for a restart if needed. I burn wood...

    Thanks, got it for Christmas a few years ago. I couldn't justify the price to buy it for myself. I used a pot for years. Doesn't hold a lot of water, but kinda looks cool.

    Bench Chain Grinder

    Type in "My new Oregon 511ax grinder" in the search bar. You will find some good info. I got one a week ago and have not had a chance to try it out. From what I have read it seems most people like it, biggest improvement over 511a is a self centering vice. I am far from an expert, it is the...

    EcoBricks - my small testing of them

    "You don't want to do this. The ideal reload is to pull your coals to the front of the stove where the primary air hits them. Then you load your wood either N/S, or E/W depending on the stove. The splits will then catch from the hot coals in front. As the fire then burns, it should burn from the...
