There are constantly folks here who try to sell the removal as a do it yourself for wood turners. Quite funny. 2-3 years ago a group of turners hired me to take some do it yourself trees like that down for them. I just put them on the ground, they did the clean up and kept the wood. Big size...

Masonry, Sean. With a huge amount of mineral wool insulation and a special sealing steel door. It is not 100% fire proof, but will contain a fire for a long time. We had to make it that way, in order to keep our fire insurance premium at a reasonable level.

We have one furnace, called the Salamander, that seems to be indestructible. Only problem is, they have very low efficiency, like in the 50% range and pollute a LOT. So a few years back, the government offered people in congested areas money to exchange them for a newer model.

My last Atmos lasted 15 years. Burned through last year for x-mas. My entire furnace room, which is fireproof, is maybe 6 x 15 feet.

Same goes for some stuff the other way. Sometimes manufacturers just decide not to go with a certain market. Like my beloved VW 4 motion van isn't sold in the US, not even in the 2 wheel drive version, even though it is one of the best selling vans in Europe. Go figure.

It would be hard to make a good picture. The water tank is in an insulated enclosure, so you can't see it. This is the furnace: https://www.hedestoker.dk/1250_atmos_braendekedel_gd.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAkNfSBRCSARIsAL-u3X85e_MugvR3CbjRGC1dbK6SObmwMEat9RtqAmxb9ub0GWo5tqrW5hUaAsiZEALw_wcB They...

I like a live fire , too, Justin. Used to have a stove in the living room area, but the chimney is situated really stupidly, so one sort of had to dance around the stove when going from one end of the house to the other. I finally got tired of it and took it down. It is standing in the shop...

You can make them pretty much invisible, if you build them as an integrated part of a new house. You can even use them for baking bread or pizza. Personally I prefer a central heating system, because it is easier to regulate the temperature. I think you, as a chimney weeper, would love my...

You need to train your dog to do it, Frans.

That was my point! WTF does it matter if you use more wood.

Nobody in our busines should have a shortage of wood.

More efficient burning= consuming more wood= more heat output. So what is the problem?

You have to climb and get the young fledglings, Jay. That is how it was done here, when people ate stuff like that. Jim, the police traditionally set up speed traps all over the place for easter, here. Anybody stopped is checked for booze/drugs as well. Even though the weather was fine, I left...

Check the thread title!

You'd probably have to let a couple of cows graze in there for a number of years first. At least the type of Psilocybe we have here is only found in old cow pastures and where large masses of Elk hang out.

I have a friend like that in California. We can share a meal and have a good time. He gets the meat, I get the veggies.

Yep. After a long winter ( Well, not this year) the first home grown veggies is a true delight. One of the nice things about living in Europe is the huge variety of regional olive oils available. There is a huge difference in taste between, say a heavy spanish oil with an overpowering taste of...

Jim, I am not a vegetarian out of health, ethical , religious or all those other reasons. I simply never could stomach meat/fish/poultry. Makes me puke. So I don't eat according to any code, I pretty much eat what I like. That said, I think you have to work at it, or get really into dairy...

No, we just don't get fat!

Leon, mine had straight sides as well. I could run the rototiller right out to the edges. I loved that thing. There is just so much you can't grow outdoor up here and being a vegetarian is just more fun when you are drowning in homegrown veggies.
