Success!
I ordered an Earthwise 16" electric saw ($70). We'll see how it goes from here. At some point I may also pick up a mitre saw as well; every so often...
If I go the mitre saw route then I think the plan would be to deal with the long splits as I go during the burning season, after the wood is dry....
So let's say it's between an electric chainsaw and a chop saw. Cost about the same. Originally I had in my head that I'd be able to use a chainsaw...
Electric seems feasible, as I'll be doing all this work within an extension cord's length from my home. But could I expect it to slice though a 4...
I am planning on building some sort of stand out of 2x4s that will hold a bunch of splits to be cut all once, using the 2x4s as guides for the saw. I...
I'm new to wood burning and have never operated a chainsaw in my life. I live on a small suburban lot and don't plan on felling any trees or getting...
Is it the top mantle ledge or just the wood trim that requires protection (according to the stove's specs)? I have a similar setup and for me it was...
Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I will experiment with packing tighter and see how that goes. Last night I packed the heck out of it and...
30 feet is a guess for the chimney, based on the fact that it's a two story house with attic, 8' ceilings, and the chimney extends a few feet above...
chimney is around 30 feet. Once the stove is heated I have been running it with the air just a hair above fully closed, or sometimes fully closed if...
The 'pack it tight' advice is the biggest challenge, as it seems I never have the right combination of jigsaw pieces to really fill all the space....
We put in an Avalon Pendleton insert last spring, and I'm wondering if there are any special tips or hints for stoves with very small fireboxes (ours...
Just got my first box, though it's still too warm here to test them with a real fire. I do have to say, the color, size and shape makes them look...
What about building the platform using concrete blocks mortared together? You could then tile right over the block platform. Might be a lot easier...
Re:cleaning. They said they will clean from the top down, though it will be more expensive because they have to set up scaffolding on the roof (see...
Just thought I'd come back and post the conclusion of the story in case anyone with a similar situation finds this thread. What the chimney guys did...
Update: advised by Avalon stove dealer that direct connection is preferable because positive connections tend to overdraft. However, I then met with...
The existing liner is rectangular -- I can see the end of it looking up from the fireplace but cant easily get a tape measure up to check the exact...
First time poster here. I am looking into getting an insert (possible Avalon Pendleton -- so far it's the only model I've found that will fit my...
