I checked out chiptec a long while back; they're just commercial and way too big/expensive. I have a TARM Solo Mk3 which is a forced draft gassifier rated at...

Roy, This stove was made in the NE USA I believe - New Hampshire. They weren't made for long, and I know of no specific problems or benefits. Not a coal...
I have noticed that when I use my wood stove at my cabin in the morning I am "plugged up" similar to if I had hay fever or a sinus cold. All plugged up where...
Eric, Are there any gas/propane appliances at the cabin? What you describe could be CO poisoning. Is there a CO detector at the cabin? I urge you to talk to...

I'm considering the benefits/drawbacks of a high temperature gasket being used as a seal for a cast iron stove. I understand some cast iron stoves use a...
Definitely get a CO detector, and make sure that is not the problem. However, you may be effected by the lower humidity of the warmed air, that is being drawn...
