HH6 could probably use a hydraulic splitter
Good progress, now buy each Pre-ranger their own chain saw and start whacking and stacking for the future! HH6 could probably use a hydraulic splitter and your Christmas shopping is done!
Now Don, on a SERIOUS note: Look into Lebanon, KY; one of two places in the US where ALL of the Bourbon barrels are manufactured from milled oak staves. They most likely have a HUGE amount of outside tree rounds available as waste. Go, cut a deal and load-up with all you can carry then cut into boiler length sections and you're set. Those oak staves they make are NOT GREEN Oak mind you, so you could be golden in no time regarding usable, clean burning wood for your Casa!http://www.independentstavecompany.com/locations/north-america/A gift from my memory to yours! I drive past the Lebanon, MO location all the time-
Has the system gotten up to temp yet? I would think that after a week of burning you should have gotten it up to temp by now. Even if you have been burning green wood, its not that cold out yet.
Just like the chimney on the pot belly stove when the guys would run it rich when they started it and by 2 am it won't even produce heat as there is so much residue in the stack. Clean it up and let it breath.
Are the pre rangers still exempt on the duty roster? A little soot on the hands builds character.
Don, how goes the heating of the home? Hopefully all is good now that you have cleaned out the crud and are feeding dry wood.
So how much wood you burning per day?
running that fan full time has got to be drawing the heat off, prompting the flapper to stay open to maintain the heat. I'm sure you've figured this out though
A wheel barrel a day or 2 is not bad, but isn't it supposed to be a lot less?Heating the entire house and hot water is good.
I can't believe you keep your castle at 74. My house is half that size and I run 68, in the 30s ambient. Anymore than 68, I'll have to get a second job.
On some of the older homes here Don we would as a humidifier to run in the winter to keep the air from being so dry from blown air. Do you have any issues with the new heat system giving out to much dry air? I assume not because you already are really humid there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
