1. Quadrafire Yosemite
2. Cleveland OH
3. Occasional Burner - Intending it to be used most evenings and weekends.
4. Just got it installed yesterday so have only burned a few splits so far. I want to have 1.5 cords ready for next winter and another cord available at my parents farm incase I use that much.
5. None yet. Probably just borrow my parents saw as that is where I will be harvesting the wood.
6. Currently only an axe but will add a Maul soon. Dont burn enough to warrant a splitter.
