A nice hardwood floor is the way to go. Then a braided rug on top of that makes the floor. Tim ... those, I got it a long time ago at the same store I recently...
Thanks for the suggestions, however they won't work in my room. It's a funny layout and our furniture has to go in certain places. From the front edge of the...
Is there anyone in this forum that can give me the exact start to finish operation of my stove. I have had issues with "Cat. light off" since day 1. After I...
Hello, I am quite familiar with catalytic stoves in general and yours in particular. But I must admit installing a new combuster, having it work well for 10...
Cal, I do however have a question about the secondary air flap, is it supposed to be wide open on a cold stove and almost completely closed on a hot stove? I...
Hi, The secondary thermostat assembly is basically impossible to put on wrong. I wouldn't think that's a possibility. However the probe on the secondary...
Cal, I have checked the probe, and it appears to look as good as new. Thanks for your help so far. It's too bad I can't get someone to operate this stove who...
Robert, I haven't been of much help. But for sure if it has deteriorated since you put in the new combuster then either it or what you did is leading to this...
Thanks to everyone who replied about my stove insert not supplying much heat. As I came to suspect, the bypass damper was stuck part way open and letting all...
It's pretty much impossible to use a probe thermometer on an insert and surface mount thermometers are far less than perfect. You can run your insert much...
We have this situation too. Need new floor in the stove room. I'm going with tile - a stone-look ceramic. It's durable and easy to clean. There's a heated...
Well I went and bought the fan that went to my wood stove, it should be here Wed. I hope it helps.. If not I will trade it off this summer. My house is heated...
HELP! Side Arm Heat Exchanger. I installed a Central Boiler CL-6048 a week ago. Stove and Forced Hot Air are working great. Today I installed a Side Arm Heat...
The loop is probably not good for circulation. A side arm should work though, you must have a short electric heater? Tying into the cold water inlet would...
Hey gggGARY, Thanks for your response, but I think I found the problem.. When I said I had little to no hot water I was referring from the OWB only. I got the...
Hi everybody! I just got another cord of "seasoned" firewood. Seasoned is in quotes cause it is the dirtiest, heaviest "seasoned" firewood I have ever...
Yeah - sounds like the wood is severely wet. It will take 3 to 4 weeks before it will be dry - if you put a tarp over it. Or you can stack some near (3 feet...
If I were buying wood, the very first question I would ask the seller is "do you heat with wood.?" ... From: Keith McHugh<mailto:keithmchugh@...> To:...
I have a daka 521 woodstove piped into my furnace forced air. I am burning a stove cord in three days. seems to be a lot. Now I have my 6 inch chimney into a 8...
That is very tight quarters. I would put a rug there...knowing that it's a "dispoable" item. Darker colors won't show burn/melt marks as readily. In our case,...
... Now, maybe I'm missing something here, but I've never heard of firewood drying in three or four weeks. Heck, if that were true, no one would ever have a...
The loop at the top has created a air lock. It is important not to have that. My time for questions; 1. Where is youyr hot water comming from? 2. What type is...
John, Let me re-phrase - I was just saying if the wood is already season (dry) and the wood got wet in rain - I have been able to cover the wood and it would...
Cover the floor with yourself, we had a local lose their house on christmas morning couple years ago. Husband & kids had left to go pick up grandma, the woman...
Shawn, If green or wet wood is the only wood you have and you are stuck in the middle of winter and have to burn something, here is an "emergency" technique...
Hi Shawn-I got stuck with under seasoned wood this year,and did this with good results.I'll repeat your caveat not to leave home with wood stacked like this...
My stove-loading routine is almost identical -- I just don't have a kindergarten chair, so I squat in front of the stove. But my kindling bucket (actualy an...
