    What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

    -1 with wind 25 gusting to 36. First I have really run my oil boiler. Think I could get away without it, but don't want to risk frozen pipes.

    Wood stove heat

    What I dislike with the hand bellows is the air flow in surges and nothing in-between. The generated heat is blown away and inconsistent. I prefer a slow but steady flow by the lungs. It's still interrupted but that gives more time for the small flame or embers to thaw a given area.

    B, your bellows story reminds me of when my wife got me a 4 wheel wheelbarrow for Xmas. I was like r u feeling ok, I have 2 (regular) wheelbarrows already. Well sure enough it is awesome and I haven’t used a regular one in a few years. Great for firewood tasks. Geez, women!

    Wood stove heat

    I've always kept about 2 and a half feet of half inch or smaller copper pipe near the stove. One end is flared for a compression fitting, the other is flattened off, nearly closed. Makes a nice fan shaped pattern that helps wake the coals quite quickly. A hand bellows is much better, but the...

    Borer “trap tree”

    GSOB : if the limbs are chipped and dumped in a leaf compost pit, the larvae should not survive, correct? Or will they maybe survive in the compost? Thanks
