Pics of owb while BURNING!

[Joe rebel]

its winter. One of my personal favorite things is my owb fired up and rolling a little smoke out in my field. I know this can be a controversial topic but some people such as me have a setup where smoke doesn't interfere with neighbors because I have none. However others units smoking doesn't bother me. Nonetheless my unit doesn't smoke much. Interested how others units act !
Let's see those bad boys fired up!!

Dosen't any body ever put a cover over their boiler fill area ?? That is the first thing I did, can't see the point of standing with rain-snow,sleet down the back of your neck! Yeah no neighbors , smoke so what? I see you don't have to split into match sticks either!some of these guys here wear them selves splitting what I consider kindling!!

Thats a cool outdoor wood stove. Is it home made? How many square feet will it heat.

Home made? Judging by the stickers on the front of the burner I would guess no.

Mohick - Yeah I usually try to split a log in half and about 24 inches long. Seems to work well for me. Easy to load and burns for longer in my opinion. I used to have a level float in the boiler fill but it broke one day when I had it out and havnt been able to track another down yet !

Nice what are you heating with that house? Garage? What kind of burn times?

I heat my house, 2800 sq ft and DHW, not the garage. When temps range from the upper 20's to the upper 30's I can get 14-16 hour burns with good wood about 12 with junk. If temps are in the single digits and teens I get about 12 hours on good wood.

It's a hardy, factory built. I heat 2800 sq ft plus DHW. It's one of their smaller heaters at 120,000 btu. It's plenty big for my needs I'm not sure what the maximum sq footage it could handle would be.

Wow for such a small footprint those are some really good results

It will accept 3 foot logs, holds 100 gallons of water. I like it.

Mine doesn't get wet! I think a lot of guys tend to split smaller for the drying aspect they get from having more surface area to do it quicker. We cut and store everything under roof and on average it gets at least 6 years dry time. I leave larger stuff to the size that I can lift but a lot gets split smaller so either I or my near 80 year old Father and Mother can feed their stove.
