A while ago someone posted about burning the creosote that they clean out of there chimney. I didn't bother to find the thread right now but I remember after everyone commented the guy said he was going to throw it out because he was too nervous to try it. Well tonight I said screw it and tried...

I didn't know trees grow in the desert!?! Thought it was all sand!😁

Same her in pa. Didn't hardly burn much til mid January then it got cold. Last couple yrs were mild only about 4 cord each year. This year already working on 5 and most of that in last 2 months. Most years avg 5-6 so on par for normal this year, just last couple were mild winters.

I have a wood furnace I installed in my basement somewhere around November 2006 if I remember correctly. Been using it every year since. As for your damper question I can't help you with that without a picture of your setup so I know exactly what we're looking at. As for the limist switch I...

Just saw this article on Google. Apparently the police value one tree at over $100k and jail time! https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2022/01/duo-charged-in-theft-of-28000-black-walnut-tree-one-of-states-largest-from-metroparks-in-strongsville.html?outputType=amp

Mine is not a hotblast but is basically the same thing. It's a Johnson energy systems. I put a regular size furnace blower on mine as well. I have to run mine on the lowest speed and even at that I had to put a screw in each air duct out the top because they wanted to blow off. I run the...

So I just read the whole thread and as soon as I read snowmobile trail going through your property I thought of a possible non-violent solution. I am a partial owner of 150 acres of hunting property in upstate NY where we have a hunting cabin and a couple buildings located on one corner of the...

He must be using the "new" math that they are teaching my kids in school that I just can't wrap my head around! When I was in school the correct answer would have been, "what is twelve Alex."

I have 3 predator generators and put a predator engine on log splitter approx 5-6 yes ago. Knock on wood not a problem with any of them.

I agree. Whats it gonna hurt to try. You should know after the first fire or two if it's going to work.

I get all the kindling I can handle from the high school woodshop. A bit of newspaper and a couple handfuls of there kiln dried scraps make great fire starters.

If it's beech and dries quick and burns pretty nice

The only time in 15 yrs I paid for firewood for my house was when I was going to be cutting it close on having enough for the next winter. I found a guy just a couple miles away that had his woods logged a year earlier. It was all red oak and he was selling it for $20 a pickup load. Being I...

Second the ceiling fan idea. Have a friend with a camp with cathedral ceilings and walkway up top to get to bedrooms. With fans on not much temp difference between upstairs and down. Turn off fans and it is hotter than heck up top and cold sitting on the couch across from the stove.

Thanks for the heads up. I will just keep on keepin on with what's been working for the last 9 yrs which is, don't touch it!

I never tried it when warm, only cold. Now I might have to try it when warm, when I'm in no hurry whatsoever, just in case!

Forgot to add that 1 or 2 or as many as 5 or 6 hard pulls still beats the heck of 100 plus easy pulls!

Yes they do. I bought mine new in 2012 and actually took it back to the dealer a couple weeks later after it refused to start for about the 10th time and I sent it flying through the woods a couple of times when I couldn't take it anymore. One time I counted over 100 pulls before it finally...

On another note, in these parts of the country they are all called campers on a normal basis. The only time anyone gets technical is if they want you to know specifically what type they are talking about.
