Fredo, you will also be happy to find several other members who live very close to you. I think there are at least 2 with Lapeer address.

Thanks

I am ready to build my hearth and I am following Osburn Stove Manufactures recommendation for fire safety. It states ceramic tiles back filled with grout and I am using 1/2 inch backer board to adhere tiles to.
I am not going with raised hearth because I like hearth flush with carpet.
Is a ceramic tile and backerboard really that fire proof?
I was wondering if anyone in Hearth community knows of any firewood supply business in Lapeer Michigan where I can purchase split firewood?
Thanks
Fredo
Fredo said:Ray, thanks for the input. My Osburn 2000 sits on a pedestal and has a deep ash tray under stove box. Ash tray acts like a heat barrier and keeps floor from heating up.
I think you are correct that Ember protection is all that I will need. I just wish Manufacturer wood state that in owners manual like you mentioned to me.
Take care
Fredo

Your only 50 miles from Backwoods Savage, I hear he has more wood stacked & seasoned than he can ever burn. (200 to 300 cord) Some 10 year dry seasoned oak too.
You have a good strong back? Work for wood? :lol:
I'd trade some oak for birch. you drive.Backwoods Savage said:bogydave said:Are we ever going to get any pictures ?

And Dave is only 3500 miles away and has even more wood. Not so sure about his back though.
Fredo said:Breaking News from this here Newbie. I finally purchased my first face cord of wood! I bought Oak and best of all it is ready to burn. It was the last face cord of Oak that this individual had in his wood shed.
I got the load home and my little polish wife moved that wood out from the back of her Ford 150 faster than a speeding locomotive. I had to stand there as she did all the work due to my back injury. Thank God for little Polish Wives and their Ford 150s.
I also found a reputable individual that is going to split me 6 face cord of Ash that will to be delivered in a week or two.
To all my wood burning buds out there, how long should I wait before I can burn Ash?
I heard that if Ash is split into smaller sections that it takes about two weeks to begin drying out. Is that correct? How long will it be before I can begin burning Ash?
My chimney installer is coming out tomorrow to look over where my stove is going and to access ceiling and roof of my home.
Its just a matter of time and hopefully I can start heating up my home with my Osburn 2000 Wood Stove...
Take care my friends..
