    Gloves or No

    Gloves for the wife... always. Gloves for me, almost never. So which is the smarter spouse?

    Synthetic oil in Splitters engine?

    Synthetic is a superior lubricant. Over the lifetime of most any engine ownership, it will extend the service life of the motor.

    Bio/Envi blocks to the rescue

    When to stop burning....

    I stop burning when my wife is warm without the stove! Actually some early May and late September nights may need a cozy fire.

    Oslo vs Firelight can't decide Please help!

    Coals to the front or back?
