    Need Help!!! Quadra Fire Edge 60 bad/missed ignition | low flame | fire dies out

    Hi, I have a Quadra Fire Edge 60 pellet stove that was bought by former owner 12 years ago. Recently the stove takes really long time to ignite (probably 2-3 startup cycle to start fire. Possible igniter issue?). But then I noticed the flame is really low and weak which cannot reach the...

    In search of quiet, low speed fan

    I own a lot of fans. Box fans, desk fans, ceiling fans, pedestal fans. I use them in the summer. I try to use them in the winter too, to distribute heat from the stoves. Unfortunately every fan I've bought in the last five years is too powerful and too loud even on low, for this purpose. I had...

    Increasing house air flow with added traps

    Hi all. I really want to get a wood stove but the logistics are unfavourable. The wood stove would go in the basement (insulated, but in the 1960s, so not very well) but I really want to at least partially heat upstairs as well. The problem is I don’t have an open stairwell connecting the...

    "Cheap" airflow project

    Taking my recently moved out 19 y.o. son a snow shovel, (the one he used to use) to save a buck anywhere he can just like the ol' man, drove past a window fan unit sticking out of a garbage can.
