Anyone have a "Wall of Flame" ?

[Waterbug]

This afternoon, I was stacking another 1/2 ton of pellets in my pole barn and I suddenly realized that the horizontal framing in my barn is on 24" centers. That is the perfect width for stapeling different empty pellet bags to the wall. Every time I sample another brand of pellets, I can staple the empty bag to the wall. In a couple of years, it should be a pretty colorful display. I already have over 30 license plates nailed across the top. It is a "Man Cave" after all.

Some of us have more time on their hands than others, it seems.

I have saved a bag of every brand I have tried. Just have them laying in a lil stack in my pellet crb though.

I'd be looking at flammability factor

But storing hundreds of bags of pellets indoors is ok?

Some save license plates, some save pellet bags. I save neither.

Could go back in time to the days of Chucks Chicks that were on the walls !

Four bucks for three square feet of coverage isn't cheap in my book.

I bet the bags light quicker/faster than the pellets......

Depends upon the wall paper, there is some really expensive stuff out there.

OMV just uses 20 dollar bills for wallpaper. :lol:

On an unrelated note...there's a piece of newspaper in my Greenfield stove that has been sitting there for over an hour since I started the stove....right next to the burn pot... and it's still untouched by fire...maybe it's asbestos?

Speaking of expensive wallpaper - the Mark Twain house in Hartford, CT. has an embossed wallpaper in the dining room (to replicate the original). The paper itself is a cream color with a flower pattern embossed in it. The paper was HAND PAINTED one flower petal at a time; I know the artists who did it. The Twains had expensive tastes when he had money.

And going back to the bags - what other wallpaper lets you burn the contents for heat?

I do that for my toilet paper.

Actually, I have the empty bags from every bag I've ever burnt in the cellar. Couple of 4 foot high stacks. I keep meaning to do something about that someday, but local recycling won't take 'em and I hate to pay to dispose of them.

Having a visual reminder of every pellet that you've ever fondles has to be right up there with those pictures of Chucks Chicks. This may date me but I prefer those Vargas Chicks in Playboy.

 

[heat seeker]

I remember the Vargas drawings. But I only read Playboy for the articles. ;-P

With the price of oil now and where it's going, you are so right

They now have artilcles in Playboy? What will they think of next?

Well, I should have saved all the nice brands I have tried over the years. But I haven't. Many brands like the old Stove Chow and Bio Heat would have been cool to post pictures of. Many others that are no longer out there. Should da would da could da. O'well!

I did save a bag from treecycle, Only because they went under.

 

[DexterDay]

Well.. Went to fill the furnace and had to move my Bags.

I seem to be missing a couple. I tried Appalachian's last year (thought I saved them). Also one more (CRS has me). Had 14 I thought. Maybe its 13....

Anyways. Over the last few years. I have saved (or tried) one bag of each brand burned.

Thought about this thread when I seen them and laid them out for a Pic.
