Woodstove Photos

[KyleOh]

My garage. Woodchuck model. Something from the 70s I believe. The box was made by my brother. Works excellent.

My house. Hot Blast 1500m. Works great for 1400sq. House was built in 1920, but has had a lot of updates from me in the last 5 years. Still drafty though.

OK, it took me awhile too get my web site settings on the new desk top, so I thought I would chime in with the house wood stove for now. I can post the shop set-up later.:spam: <BR>

Just thought I'd update, got asked to do some Drywall work on a house some folks bought and for payment, I'm going to take there Blaze King they removed from the front room. It is basically identical to the one I have, but does not have a glass door. I'll get pic's of it soon as I get 'er home. I figured I'd take it as a "back up" since it's already installed in my Manufactured home anyway!?

Guy's You all have nice setups. When I had my old wood stove in the house I found some old wrought iron and made a safety fence around it to keep the kiddies away from it.I hope a young one never gets too close.

The young ones learn fast--as least as fast as my dog, Lady. Retrievers love heat also. opcorn:

My Lab mix is laying on the upstairs floor directly above the woodstove right now, the long haired mousechaser is in his favorite spot, the corner of the back porch where the floor cantilevers out past the foundation a foot or so, guess he likes it cooler.

I just wish the stove wasn't directly under the hallway. Going over a sprawled out dog is a PITA.

cleaning your glass the easy way

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it yet but the easiest way to clean your glass is with ashes. I will take a wet paper towel and dab it into the ashes then scrub the glass, a dry paper towel then wipes it clean. Simple, easy and cheap way to keep your glass clean.

Holy crap - is that from a showroom?

I was thinking the same thing. No bark crud in front of the fireplace, no hair from the dog and cat on the floor, etc. Looks like no one lives there.....

And who has their xmas tree up already?? it's not even thanksgiving!

Very nice. What did you have to do to rebuild it? I was thinking of picking up an older Hearthstone a couple of years ago because I really wanted a soapstone stove. I ended up passing because I figured I was better off getting a newer one when the time was right. Do you feel its that much different than the newer ones?

Was taken last year... I might have vacuumed a little before I took the photo.

sorry Curdy, I just saw your question. It was missing some parts & had been the victim of a flue fire....1/4" interior baffle had a grapefruit sized hole burned clean through. $250 on CL & about $400ish in parts. The missing parts were more expensive then the damaged ones.

This thread needs to be resurrected again. Here's a second stove we installed this year...and what a great year to have it with the winter we've had!
