    Screwed by firewood seller

    FYI I burn about 6-7 cords a year. Luckily the guy's big truck was in the shop, so he could only drop off 2 1/2 at a time, so I had time to check it...

    Screwed by firewood seller

    For those asking, I paid $240 a cord. That's a lot more than I paid last year for stuff that was drier, but maybe I just got lucky last year. I...

    Screwed by firewood seller

    Sorry, I don't mean to get quite so worked up... it's just $600 I can't really afford to throw away.

    Screwed by firewood seller

    I got plenty of reasonably seasoned wood last year (not perfect, but not 45%), and most of it cheaper than what I was paying for this stuff. Most of...

    Screwed by firewood seller

    So I talk to a guy on craigslist from central Mass that has a pretty good price on firewood. He says it's been seasoning for a couple years, and is...

    What the heck, stove glass cleaner smells like ammonia??

    Hmm... the point about never getting black on the glass is an interesting one. We definitely get it after a couple weeks of solid burning. I can't...

    Broken brick - can I wait to replace?

    I have a broken brick in the back of my stove, a 4" square chunk fell right out. Is it critical that I replace it right away, or is it no big deal...

    770 degrees stovetop temp

    Unfortunately, it doesn't... it says "don't over fire" and doesn't really explain what that means, except like "if your stove is glowing red" :/

    My 4300 is too old to have ACC, but I've read about it, and it works like pagey said. The quad is a good stove, you won't ever regret the purchase....
