Allrighty, Pete

Keep us posted, looks real sweet !!

Did you get the blower? Pat

Hears what you got to look forward too. Just loaded mine up for the night, I love this stove!! The top load is great, you can really pack the wood in there. Pat

Pete, this is going to work out well for you with the weather the way it is. Congratulations.

Oh man. That's an avatar. Profile pics are facebook

Nice step up on the stove. Get the paint burned in now while you can open the windows. Might be able to have a real fire tomorrow night.

Yup, that's me. I think this is the one I used for the avatar. You will no doubt notice the proper milk crate, hot seat and the proper method of splitting wood; vertically.

I'm jealous of your woodpile Backwoods......and your splitter.

I think my milk crate can compete with yours though.
Gotta start somewhere I guess.

Hey Dirt, the milk crate is getting a bit old now but so is the splitter and I'm starting to get there a bit myself!

Pete, last year I used a small step stool rather than the milk crate because I was still recovering from hip surgery. It seemed to work well as it put me a bit higher which was appreciated by the hip. Not sure what I'll use next spring. Time will tell on that one.

Dennnis,

I tried the milk crate method, but found I could not generate enough head speed on the maul. I am going to try a 6' step ladder this year!

Oh, and Pete, nice stove!

Remkel, you might try fastening a stone onto the maul and then climb a tree and throw it at the wood... I'll stick to the hydraulics though.

I'm going to have to buy a longer length of rope- I will be certain to post photos when I try it.
