    If I lived in a southern climate I think I'd feel the same way. Here if I'm ever 'to warm' this time of year I can just step outside and shiver as much as I'd like.

    Pretty easy if done right. I'm wired for it from a lifetime of conditioning though. My dad would slap your hand if you ever reached for the thermostat as a kid. Never use the furnace. I just looked right now and my hallway temp(furthest nearly from the basement stove) reads 72. Set at 70. My...

    I have family that sells firewood. It goes about 200/cord here. It's a hobby thing for them. Crazy bugger works two weeks on and two weeks off at his regular gig and in his time 'off' he processes a crap ton of firewood. He processes up about 8 logging truck loads a year. Roughly $1500/truckload...

    Pretty decent now that I'm out of the treework. Way less aches and pains all around to be honest. Chimneys are pretty low key on the physical side compared to treework.

    Sore shoulder from heating one home in Washington? Pfffft. Keeping a homefire going is nothing compared to treework. I get endless satisfaction from heating with wood.

    That's a lot of cleaning. Sean pretty well nailed it. And I am now a WETT certified sweep and inspector(got my full cert in the mail here this last week). So my agreement should hold some weight. Lol.

    I'll burn some pine early and late season. No issue with it here. Prices in my area are similar $150-300. The low end being pine or 'mixed' cords. The high end being birch or straight fir. That's Canadian pesos too.

    You are correct. A double wall interior chimney is probably arguably one of the most efficient and safest set ups. Running straight up from the stove with no 90's and staying inside the building envelope for as long as possible is the best way. Let's not confuse masonry chimneys with metal...

    Chimney liners are used in existing masonry chimneys to help size them to an appliance and to make them safer or bring them up to code. Unless they are insulated either in their construction, by wrapping with insulation, or by pouring insulation in around them once in place they will not bring a...

    Yah a oversized flue is no good and acts just as describes. Too much volume. Also lets not confuse double walled stovepipe with a stainless steel chimney liner. Double wall stove pipe is used to connect the wood burning appliance to the chimney. A chimney liner is well a chimney liner and...

    I've never had one but it's been my understanding that outdoor wood boilers are a less efficient transfer of wood to home heat btu's. Therefore using more wood. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this? Is it fifteen full cord a year that you go through in a boiler system? Here I burn...

    Fir is like that too, and it's the choice firewood around here. No one complains that the pitch in fir is burning down homes. Seriously I think from monitoring actual temps now that the big problem people get into with pine is grossly over firing their stoves/chimney, thus igniting any available...

    1st degree is light and flaky and produced even when things are burned properly. It is easily cleaned out of the chimney with a normal chimney brush. 2nd degree is black and shiny but still flaky and is usually a sign of not running hot enough. It can be cleaned with a brush usually pretty...

    There are three levels of creosote from flaky light to caked on glossy black tar. Creosote starts to form around 230f and lower so as candoarms mentioned burning cool causes creosote to condense in the flue/chimney. Wet wood contains more creosote and burns cooler. A double edged sword...

    Pine is safe as any wood if burned properly. Any wood if not cured properly or burned improperly will lead to a situation where a chimney fire is a possibility. I've burned tons of,pine with zero issue. Generally greater than 20% MC is going to cause problems with creosote and lack of...
