I read this forum when I am doing my last load for the night. Tonight I almost had it runaway on me because I was engrossed in reading a post about someone having a problem with a cat stove. I don't even have one. Maybe I should move my pc into the room with the stove . :)

Or burn it...you don't have a cat, you could get away with it.
 
We have our "older" laptop permanently in the living room, it's a curse and blessing. :eek:hh:

I hate to admit to it, I could at this point live without TV, but not the interwebz..
 
Don't move the computer. The only exercise I get during the winter is going back and forth from the computer room to stove room.
Acctually I get a few 12oz. curls in now and then too. CHEERS

How many times do you load that Olso anyways in one night..lol.
 
Hearth.com is the most visited website at my job. My boss asked me why I spent so much time on this site to which I replied, well if you paid me more I wount have to read forums on how to save money on energy costs. He too now is an avid reader of this forum. Since then he has purchased a wood insert for his fireplace and a pellet stove for his family room downstairs. I love this place.

i encourage my guys at the shop to read posts, its educational. for those who do not know me , i run the tech support shop at englander, ive learned a ton over the last few years in here so encouraging my tech's to read threads has to help them become beter at their job and make mine easier :) a few of them have joined and helped out with some posts as well, its almost a symbiotic thing i guess, you learn , and you contribute when you can help. what a great resource

be careful what you wish for VC, remember , when folks call me its because somthing isnt right and i have to make it right, its fulfilling but its hard on the psyche, remember when somthing costs money and it doesnt perform to what folks expect they tend to be testy sometimes.

we do occasionally get a nice letter or a phone call to thank us for helping them , and it literally makes your entire week, but for the most part its a draining thought intensive job. but i love it, its challenging , requires a lot of abstract thinking putting yourself in someone's house mentally and visualizing what the stove is doing

as for needing help, heck, you guys help me more than you know just by doing what you do. educating folks on the finer points of choosing, setting up, and burning a woodstove. it isnt as easy as it might look to be. many folks "lurk" here learning before they buy and many of them dont need me, so help, yeah , i AM using your help bro , and i thank all of you for it

you ALL help more than you might realize just by caring
 
You are right I can spend hours reading and looking at pictures. I enjoy it much!!!
 
Thats funny, Ive done that a couple times myself, it gets boring staring at the stove waiting for it to get up to temp so I have to run back to my desk and read hearth.com in between turning the tstat down, oops I did it again..later.

nope, could have another forum, support group. then I could get almost all my therapy in one place, of course you would have to peel my warm dead hands off my stove if you wanted all of it.
 
Our computer is in the stove room and so is the television. However, the television has not been turned on since the last Super Bowl. We can live better without that thing!

I dont have cable...not really worth watching anything either.

Backwoods, whos your team? or just watch to watch?
 
Well Stump, for sure it is not the Detroit Loins... The biggest joke in the NFL.

No real favorite but I do enjoy watching a few playoff games and that is the extent of my tv watching. After just a few games I am tired of all the stupid commercials that play over and over and over and over and over and I also detest most of the announcers. I do wish they would go back to the old days with only one announcer. As it is, there is no break in the constant chatter. It seems the powers that be want some talk at all times. Some of us like a break every now and then. lol
 
I agree, why do i want to listen to announcers who never even played a sport, let alone football. commericals too, my dad watches the superbowl to see who advertises and then refuses to buy whatever from that company for the year. My old roomates were from Buffalo, huge bills and sabers fans. they would actually mute the tv and then use the internet to find a radio station announcer! the way they dictate the game is much better then the sha'mo's they have on the tv.

Well maybe this would make your day . . . at dinner last night with some fellow firefighters we got talking about heating with wood and pellets and one fella was telling me about an Englander pellet insert he bought. I piped up and said I had heard very good things about their customer service and he immediately said that this was spot on . . . turned out the pellert insert he bought was missing a piece . . . he called and the very next day the part was delivered to his home . . . all the way here in Maine.
 
Not only is my computer in the same room as the stove, I moved my bed in here, too! I like to wake up in the middle of the night and look over at the stove and see the glow from the coals.
 
Cool thread, a lot to comment on. Battenkiller, hilarious!

Yes, I could imagine how that could happen. However, just the fact that you work for a company which allows you to answer directly to your clientelle says a lot! The more I hang around here, the more I like the Englanders. They are all that other companies should be. You can have the peace of mind that your customers have bought a good product. One with an affordable tag and reliable customer service. This is the true sign of a model company.
