    Pictures of my new Lopi 1750

    Are you filling the firebox with wood? Or just throwing a log on once in a while? If it is the later, you are not getting the heat out you could.

    Pictures of my new Lopi 1750

    Bamboo?

    Bamboo is related to the grass family. I doubt it would have much heat value. It would also depend on the type of bamboo. The Japanese have giant...

    Reccomend a maul (small guy)

    Get a good axe. The secret with an axe is it needs to be sharp. So get what you need to sharpen it. I find an axe requires less energy to split wood...

    Under floor installation... how to do it, what to do? Changed heating systems.

    Finally.

    I think this thread is in the wrong section of the forum. Try throwing it in the ash can with some of the other garbage. It is not even conversation.

    How much land to sustain a forest?
