Hi, Hubby and I live in Michigan. We have a quad-level house. We have a large wood stove in the third level from the top floor. Because of this, we had to have...
I think I have it and your basement will get pretty cold you might be able to circulate some air to help but it is not the same as a basement stove. Is the...
To move the big chimney inside, we would have to go up 2 whole levels. The pipe would be in one of the bedrooms. Is this legal? And any ideas on the cost of...
Yes quite legal and well worth the cost for a stove that runs well and burns clean. You most likely can reuse the class A chimney you now have running ...
Thank you so much gggGary, How would one clean that long a chimney, or if it is in the house, doesn't it need that much cleaning? Hubby has had to clean our...
Usually with rods and a brush from the roof, no big deal once you get used to it, probably once or twice a year depending on the quality of wood you burn and...
Do you know where I can get information on what "Standards" will be used to test Wood Stoves to the New lower heating value for the 75% efficiency of a...
... Patty, I briefly considered this option myself when faced with a smokey stove last year. I ruled this option out because it just seemed like too big a...
... Great question. I've been wondering this myself and it seems getting to the 75% level won't be easy. I just checked the Buck Stove web site (my stove is a...
TNT, I may be wrong about this, but I think the reason they are focusing on higher/lower heating values is that if you use the lower heating value (which...
smoke isn't so much of a problem, as just cleaning the chimney all the time. Hubby is 65, and not sure how much longer we will be able to heat with wood. Not...
For what it is worth, I have a cabin with an outside chimney and have the same problem of getting a draft establsished on lighting up in very cold weather. My...
... time. Hubby is 65, and not sure how much longer we will be able to heat with wood. Not sure we want to invest in an inside chimney. Will have to think on...
I kind of read two questions in your post. First the others have responded to the chimney question. Yes, it should be run in the house, straight up from the...
I just talked with hubby, and he says that he does not clean the chimney once a week. It just seems like it. Well, he may not, but it seems to not draw right...
... Have you talking to a professional chimney guy/gal? Your story seemed a little complicated or strange from my own personal experience, and now hearing...
Call Fiskar's. They will send you new pruners with no questions asked. When they mailed me a replacement for my my bent shovel with no receipt and not showing...
Here is a plan that some people have used successfully: http://www.woodheat.org/firewood/woodshed.htm John ... No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked...
I have a quasi-related question: How much longer would it take for wood to season in a completely enclosed shed? Here's some background, just for giggles:...
Funny, my open sided covered wood racks have white roofs (white pole barn tin) And I have considered painting them dark for more solar heat gain and an...
... Absolutely! I am always burning quick and hot and do whatever I can to eliminate those orangish yellowy smoldering flames that throw out a lot of black...
... Hmm. That doesn't seem quite right. Most users report that their EPA certified non-cats will run without smoke once the fire is burning properly. Cal and I...
... Those are some great videos and was fun to see you. The smoke that I get is less than one-half of what the "old" stove shows on the video, but still not...
The vast majority of the time, we cannot tell from the chimney that our stove is burning wood. Occasionally, if we look real hard, we can notice a slit bit of...
... Wayne, Thanks for the advice. I did call Fiskars and they seemed very helpful, but not quite your experience. They told me either to take a picture of...
What precautions do you take to make sure your wood piles don't harbor ants or termites? A good friend of ours had quite a bit of destruction caused by...
I have never had an ant problem once the wood has been split even when the blocks of wood had ants in them before splitting - once split the ants leave at...
The ants you see when you split the wood will die off when they reach the end of their life span. When to worry is if you see the big black ones that have...
