I recently upgraded to an EPA cert. stove and was a little suprised to see the amount of ash created wasn't that far off from the non EPA that I used to have....
... to ... I think you have to ask the question what is ash? What type of wood are you burning? ash, beech, hornbeam, hawthorn, crab apple and wild cherry I...
Can anyone give me their input on the Napolean 1900? Thinking about buying a Napolean 1900 stove. I have been using an Alaska Kokiak that is not certified for...
Todd, Ash is the inorganic part of the wood, mostly minerals, the dirt that was picked up in the bark when the logs were skidded and bits of charcoal that...
I have the smaller 1400. Basically the same stove. I don't think you will be disappointed in it's performance especially considering the often much lower...
How much fireplace ash can I put in my small backyard composter before it has an adverse effect on the composting process? I had read that ash was more...
My back yard is about 7000 sf with a half a dozen large maples and some 80ft white pine around the perimeter. In the winter I dump the ashes on top of the...
The 2000 is a wood stove - not a furnace. A very important distinction that will likely cause the 2000 to melt if you try to use as a central furnace. Cal...
John Your explination is correct and appreciated. I was in a growley mood that day and after a bad day designing engines I just reacted to your email harshly....
Send me your e-mail I'll send ya a buck so you can go buy a sence of humor. I don't agree with John on somethings, but this was tongue in cheek if anything. ...
As John mentioned in the ASH thread, it does tend to leave a lot of ash. It is easy as pie to split and tends to burn fast. I definitely use it more in the...
Luke, I don't know if I asked you before, but I have a Riteway furnace in my cellar of the house. It's ben there since I moved in in 2000. I never used it...
If you wanna stay warm burn hickory, if you want babies in the fall burn poplar, that what the old timers used to say. I burn it, it grows fast and is prolific...
Why would it melt?? I don't get it, what differance is there if you fire it in the corner of the living room or the middle of the basement? (flue issues aside)...
Think I'll have to tag in with John on this one. Ash has to do with the wood, not the burn, not to be confused with charcoal, which should stay in the stove....
Rock, If you double the area you expect a unit to heat - ie basement + upstairs as opposed to upstair alone, logic tells me that the unit would get twice as...
A stove will fire what it is designed to fire, no more. I have heated my house for years with a stove. No issues. I didn't buy the cheapest stove I could...
Following what you said there Gary, about the cycling shortening the life of a stove, do furnaces tend to have shorter lives? They dont necessarily shut down...
I would think that it is very installation dependant. A damp or wet basement in the summer can play havoc on sheet steel though. Wood stoves and furnaces do...
New to the forum but have been a fan of the website for a few years now! My original fireplace grate seemed to create more charcoal/ash than the one I am using...
Norb, I've been a little busy so I'm slow to respond. I do have a passing interest in chip burners, having installed, run and monitored a couple during the...

Cal, You are kidding I hope. My All Nighter has been heating the basement and the main floor for 18 years now. On some other wood stove site they were calling...
Sorry man it don't work like that. The stove is only going to extract X # of Btu's per load of wood. You could burn through the bottom of an unlined stove over...
Okay, I will take a stab at this. I remember when my brother-in-law, Bob, was living in a old double wide trailer. He wanted to get the wood stove out of the...
