Mass-Burner... Why do you have a wood stove on wheels?
Nothing as exciting as a still, just move into the open and shovel in excess leaves, bark chips, small twigs, etc, when I don't need them for mulch. I also put a fire in it sometimes and we sit on the side on chilly nights, I put a bluestone slab on top, it keeps my coffee cup warm.

Ya know, that got my wheels turning. I have an old Federal Airtight stove that was my starter stove, given to me by the FIL. I looked briefly into running the coil in stove deal, and tying it into my hot water base board heaters with a circulator pump. I didn't want to cut holes in my new stove, but I'm wondering if I could do that with the old stove, even if it's just supplemental... Might have to talk to my plumber buddy about this? Or am I just having pipe dreams :) I was just going to haul it to the scrap yard
 
I wouldn't attempt that, so many moving parts to consider with an existing system. I thought I could do that same thung heating the outdoor pool, till I saw that a 1/2 small copper coil was $78.
 
Good point, thanks. I guess I'll just scrap it. Sorry for the derail

Look on the bright side, you'll get it off your property and get a few bucks. Better than spending money on it.

Way to git 'er done, claydogg! :cool:
The one on the right is 6 long, 3 deep. I'm hoping the poor air circulation on the right stack will be made up for with the 4 year dry time.
In 4 yrs, I'd think that stuff will be dry no matter what, especially top-covered. I'm far enough ahead now that everything is being stacked 3 wide...less blocks and pallets to set up.
