My stove needs work. The glass is messed up up front, and I feed it on the side. That causes smoke to puff out when I open the side door. I need to fix it, but keep kicking it down the road. Easiest fix is to block off the windows entirely, but I like seeing what the fire's doing without opening...

Regular black cherry or apple is the best I've noticed. Never burned chestnut oak. They're around. but still living. Hickory's nice too, and I've had black locust that smelled a bit like smoked ham. That was pretty good.

My windows are still open here :^D :^/ It's getting cooler though. A couple days this past week I wokeup almost chilly with just a bedsheet. It'll be fire time soon...

Looks great!

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.
