Not a problem until it falls out. Might be years. In the past BIS firebrick were cheap. This is the first season using my BIS Tradition and today I noticed...
While it's true that there is a reduction in sawdust that has increased the problem, I've noticed a pellet mill in this area loading sea containers. I...

... It all depends how dry it is. If you burn green oak, versus tamarack (or larch in the UK) that has been cut, split and seasoned for two years, the oak will...
In my previous post, I realise it sounded liek I was suggesting that oak was not a great burning wood. Of course, Oak is fantastic, it just needs to be well...
Hi All... I have a quick question--I am thinking about installing an RSF Opel Fireplace in my home. Wondering whether or not to connect it directly to my...
OK on the design factors. Everyone wants big shiny windows. That changes the firebox shape, instead of a low long narrow box you have a wide shallow tall...

We own a Lange 6302K stove and the two side burn plates, I believe that's what they're called, have large cracks in them which is forcing them out into the...
A quick google search showed that certain vintage parts may still be available. Woodmanspartsplus.com maybe a place to look. I have never used them, so be...
