My father in law had that set up in the 70s house he built. Worked well. I think the iron pipe drooped from the heat.

I have a free old circulator stove with an automatic intake air adjustment. It will take a 24 inch log 10 inches in diameter. If I split a monster piece in half I can shove it in. I made an add on that clips on the bottom of the door opening. It had a folded out raw edge that would snag logs...

Russian masonry stoves are a thing of beauty.

My glass front throws a lot of heat.

Too small for old eyes? Not sure how that got in place but seems to be gone.

Went and looked at my buds new neighbors Lopi Endeaver. The stove was in the house when they bought it. It had a bypass passage to get the fire going that you opened by pulling on a rod. The rod pulled right out and they had no idea what it was supposed to do or how to run the stove...

What do you have it boxed in with?

I tell people what do you think people in conifer country burn. I get a little soot buildup but not the glazed on stuff I used to get with an oversized masonry chimney. Had a few chimney fires in that one. Scary stuff. Finally it was cracked and unsafe. Much as I tried to keep the temps up...

It's funny how many people around here say you can't burn that. Plug up your stove pipe and chimney they say.

Pops like crazy?

Is it American Elm?

I like that I can throw a big round in on a bed of coals and it will burn without having a log beside it. Have you burned any standing dead with the bark having fallen off?

It sure doesn't burn like church yard mold.

I never understood why Elm go a bad rep. American Elm that dies around here, I wait til the bark falls off and cut if and straight in to stove. Burns great. I would take it over just about any other.

Me too. Oil and propane are high. Old farm house likes a lot of heat.

So much warm air taken out of the house when it goes up the chimney. Air tights only take out the air you allow to go in. After the fire dies down you still have to vent the coals til they are dead. All that warm air up the chimney.

My mother used to sit out in the yard and use hand snips to cut up limbs that had dropped for her kindling. I told her I could load her up with a winters kindling with almost no effort and I thought she was working her arthritic hands too hard. I realized she liked doing it so I bit my tongue.

What exactly are we looking at? You ordering a new part?

My ex was renting a place that had a forced air furnace. The blower was out of balance and got a sheet metal shimmy going. I asked her if that noise didn't bother her. Not really. I got a piece of scrap and jammed it in to eliminate it. While I was in there I looked at her filter and...

Nice. How much does it weigh? Concrete sounds heavy. I would like another newer wood stove. Watch for a used one in the off season. I am too cheap to spend the $3000 they want. Seems like too much but you can't build one yourself, no matter how heavy duty or professionally done.
