OP I think some details like what kind of stove and pics of your set up would help give you answers more specific to your case. What i'm seeing as a general theme is that you may have the intake damper consistently closed too much. Damper control is more art and every setup is different. I still...
Don't let the fact he's a cop keep you from calling him on it. He should be honest about it. Hell, I'd call and rat him out for having a garage full of illegal firewood. People like that make it hard for all the good cops.
My uncle died last month and I'm making sure my aunt has plenty of wood. I took two loads to her yesterday and split some a neighbor had dropped in her yard. I always have somebody that can use some.
Just make sure to put thr seam of the stove pipe in the back. The little holes in the collar are for sheet metal screws to secure the pipe. A little stove cement will plug any leaks around the connection.
WHAT???? A chain only last you from 1 to two tanks? Is that between sharpenings or replacing? I sharpen my chains after I notice them getting dull but that can be several tankfulls unless I ground it or hit an old nail or fence wire thats grown upn in the tree. I've cut all day before without...
Under a gallon of fuel means $3.25 out of your pocket which make it $16.25 in your pocket. Two 50' logs that are 20" diameter and cut to 18" means you are gonna be bustin approx 67 chunks which is a bunch of wood. I say since Zogger is so cheap, you charge the guy a flat $75 and sub it to Zogger...
I have to go to the hardware for some more handles, I just inherited a single and a double bit that belonger to my great, great, great grandpa. Will do some before and after pics. Gonna try to start on them this weekend.
Get 8 metal "T" posts and drive them in the ground in a rectangular pattern. That way you have 4 posts on each side leaving 2 posts to support each 11" section and keep them from flying back on you as you cut through. Width of your holding apparatus dependa on how long your bar is. I'd do 16"...
I just inherited my great-great- grandpa's crosscut saw with the passing of my Uncle Mack! its an old 5 footer, no handles and surface rust, but at least nobody has done some stupid painting on it! Pics when I get a chance.
Check your local sawmills. One close to me sells odd chunks and slabs for $5 a pickup load. It alwasy varies as is leftover from whatever they are cutting but a lot of folks here get it. I've hauled a bit for me over the years. Why are you in this predicament? I see you are a firefighter, you...
