Started the removal of the old ceramic tile, and picking out a new tile, to make it look purty
Install is being done by the Ashwoods contractor. I don't want to mess with it, considering new windows, tree felling,log cutting, splitting, etc. Too much on my plate right now.
I'll get pics of the semi nekkid FP tomorrow, in better light.. It's some seriously non salvalable red brick, in my opinion. And I detest the look of painted brick work
I wish the horses could do it, LOL !!

Yeah, dudes.... I knew originally signing in under Jacks name would create confusion, lol !!
Glad to hear the insert performs well on a local level
I live in Ridge, work in Riverhead. I've been geting wood from Finks in Calverton for the past few years for the FP. I have 2 cords from him now, and almost 2 of my own ready to go. We've been trimming out the lower back forty, and I figure I've got 4-5 cords just about ready to split & stack, and will continue working on the trees on the property (1 + acre of heavily wooded oaks, pines, etc), and letting the younger ones grow for future use. I can see that if managed carefully, it could be self sufficient for heating the house.
3 hayburners, the big brown one, the lovely red & white one, and a brown & white rescue mare named Matisse, with alot of trust issues. She's coming along. Takes alot of time and patience when they lose trust.

Finks eh? how much they charging you know? Anyway, the insert heats my 1.5 story 1400+ sqft cape to 80 on the ground floor if I crank it and 70 upstairs, slow long burn its more like 75 and 65 without breaking a sweat. Get a magnetic thermometer, got mine at Griffing hardware on Main street, its a rutland and fits perfectly above door on the right hand side. She routinely runs over 700 at that spot when shes got a full load of oak. stays that high maybe 1/2 hour, sometimes up to 750 for a short while. thats with the air control fully closed. You'll get 8 hours burns no problem with a full load and that is to coals that will restart a fire, I have had 9 hours of the fan running but thats rare. although she might not be the prettiest, mine is all black with the sunburst pattern on the door, she is a workhorse.

Thanks for the thermometer tip WX!! I'm in and out of Citibank, so not an issue !!
I paid $200 per cord, that was last month. Woods at a premium here, what with shipping it to get here, etc. Better stock up now, if you haven't !
House layout
We're heating the main part of the house, to the left. Bedroom, kitchen, bath & bedroom are an accessory apartment. I figure maybe 1200 SF.
Insert is going in den, labeled "bedroom 19.6 x 11.2". Done some renovating Ceiling fans through out.
The way it looks now, tonight.
It's a blank slate, I love it
