    Wood stove heat

    The wood burning fireplace in the Lake Quinault lodge has a propane gas manifold under the log fire grate. It burns all the time, with a few 3 foot logs 6 or 8 inches in diameter above the gas. They burn down until another few are added again. I have no idea if the manifold has needed to be...

    Wood stove heat

    Our Hearthstone claims to take 20 inch wood, but that is too tight for convenience. I cut to 17-18 inches. I could put a 10 inch diameter piece in if there was nothing but a good bed of coals left, but I can pack it tighter, more wood all together, if I split it to 5-7 inches.

    Wouldn't one need to nearly constantly be adding those small bits of wood to the fire? It has always seemed to me that keeping a rocket stove of any variety running would be a near full time job. Is this correct?

    That is a great question. And I don't think it has an answer. Edit: to John's last point in his post above Trains.

    I don't get the same "mileage" :) as @Kaveman from burning coniferous wood, Doug fir almost exclusively. I need to clean creosote from my flue and its rain cap; usually do it in the spring after the heating season is done, but sometimes before that...either way always starting the season with a...
