If you cut and haul your own firewood, you know that it is a lot of work. My neghibor is a logger, he cuts wood for lumber. When he cuts a wood lot he can...
I just recently purchased a Barometric Damper (flapper gate w/ balanced counter weight). Will this help to prevent my stove from "overfiring" if I forget to...
I have one on a 20+ year old Concorde Catalytic. It is a "must have" according to the installation instructions. The flap is very active on windy days. I can...
I have one on my wood furnace. It made a huge difference in the wood usage last year. Before I put it in, I was always having to reach to the back to adjust...
Compressed, wood pellets and extruded Logs seem to be the choice of Europe,they are renewable, smokeless, high BTU's, and give heat flames, and look good....
well the Built rite Prossecsor i am running cost about 35,000 New I have only run it for 2 weeks now but i am up to 20 + cord a day but i am getting better...
Rob, There are good reasons why most wood fired central heating furnaces and boilers (must) use barometrics and why you almost never see one on a wood stove. ...
Thanks for the info. Tim.... That's just what I'm hoping to get out of the unit. It has become a drag for me or my wife to constantly have to "keep an eye" on...
I thought I was understanding this discussion until John's post. The original description of how the damper was set up had me thinking that the damper operated...
Rich, A barometric draft control is like a small tee installed in the flue pipe between the appliance and chimney. The round damper plate in the open mouth of...
I've been looking for a new insert for a year now, with basically no luck, so I'm making a last try here for advice. I have several important criteria and...
I've never seen anything burn and heat as well as a Lopi Freedom. Very Clean. I have one. Fully lined firebrick box and firebrick baffle. Non-cat. Large...
I have the Avalon Reinier insert which is smaller than the Lopi Freedom insert. The heat output is of my insert if 71k vs 73K btu but mine takes only 20 inch...
Wilson, You seem to be the victim of your criteria. The trouble with ash pans is that a decent sized one causes the overall height of the insert to be too tall...
How about a Jotul Insert?? They have a couple of nice Cast Iron units, and Jotul is well know for their Cast Iron quality. I'm assuming that you are not ...
You seem to have made up you mind about the Quadrafire, but let me give you my opinion. I burn a Quad stove in my basement and have been very happy with it...
Hi all, I'm going through the final stages of house planing. We want to build this year or next. We know we want a wood stove on the main floor but might put...
... I checked out Isokern.net, there is almost no information about chimneys on their site. Do their chimneys work with other's stoves, or only with their own...
They manufacture a chimney and a fireplace/chimney system made of volcanic pumice.The chimney system uses an outer casing block with an inner flue liner either...
Caution, this is a rant. Product advertising is not appreciated on this list, as Miro has been told at least once before, off list. Despite the fact that he ...
Hi, I am just about to buy a new stove. It is going into my basement, so looks are totally unimportant. I have been talking to my local stove dealer, and would...
I believe I have a few valid points to clarify. 1. My "flogging" (?) was indeed in response to a question from valgardforkbeard (I like that tag). See way...
Well, I wouldn't buy anything by Majestic. They bought Vermont Castings, for which I need parts sometime, and I find them very hard to deal with. It's hard...
Thanks for the info., John. My complaint comes from the fact that my woodstove gets too short of burn times. It is a high-quality cast iron stove, yet I'm...
Well, my options are still open. The only drawing I have of the QF shows muffin fans, just like the ones I can't stand on my Winterwarm. Is yours quiet on...
