You're feeding it a lot? I don't remember that, but I haven't burned a ton of locust. I do remember liking it, and the way it smelled. Smelled burning that is. Kinda stinks just sitting around cut.

There's a place for everything. I could imagine a location where fuel is extremely scarce, and you have to extract every btu you can from the fuel available. A rocket stove with a some kind of heatsink would make a lot of sense. This isn't that place. I'm drowning in wood, and I have my choice...

Love cherry! I have more to harvest from the destruction pile behind the farm. Next year might be the last running pure cherry.

It would be a nice size for an RV.

I'm a traditionalist. I don't mind a lot of glass in the front, but I like the look of lots of iron or masonry.

What does it look like after the 20th burn though?

Damn, that's harsh. Need two full time jobs. One for energy, and the other for everything else D^:

Brought a load of wood in from the bottom course, and those are the ones with the spiders. I didn't bother clearing them, so now I have a bunch of big black spiders moving around. Trying to get motivated to brush them off outside. I don't like putting them in the inferno, especially when they...

If you do scented candle jars or things like that, there's always remainders left in the jar. You can put the jar on a brick on top of the stove(DO NOT leave unattended) til it melts, then fill the jar with noodles to soak up the wax.

Also harsh. Wide open nothing, and getting blasted by winter wind.

Damn. What do you pay a month? I just paid my home energy bill today. I'm still sitting at about $1k/yr.

You have a nice spot out there Gerry.

Heating oil is basically diesel minus the taxes. If you forget to get your tank filled, you can get some cans from the gas station to get you through it(at a higher cost).

Grass lights up fast, even without high wind in a desert. When I was kid, maybe around 8, me and a friend were playing with fire on an undeveloped road. The grass lit up and took off, and my asshole friend ran away. I managed to get it out with a jacket. Another time on a job, someone who was...

I guess everything gets used on your jobs stig? The logged sites I see around here could support me almost the rest of my life with the slash left in the woods.

If I did the math right, 8.28 cord. Is that correct? Sounds like a shitload of wood for a warming Denmark.

I used to buy into the 'pines cause fires' story. It's what I heard, and I just accepted it without much thought. When you stop to think about it though, if that were an issue, you'd have houses constantly going up all over the north country. Just about all they have is conifers. It's not my...

That was my impression. People don't like it cause it's a bastard to split. I've never fooled with it.

When I was a kid, a neighborhood family friend got a new woodstove, and invited us over. I was too young to know exactly what the problem was, but the fumes in the house probably took a couple years off my life, never mind the being overheated. Dunno if it was a factory coat, or something he...

This is the best time of year for a fire. Yea, when it's super cold out(I almost remember those days), a fire feels awesome, but when it's only chilly, I can run a fire without the blower. Having the blower on is like having a P51 in the family room with me. Almost have to wear my helmet and...
