Celebrity Elm Purchase

[wkpoor]

Jesse James bought an Elm to heat his shop and reportedly will be seen on his new Discovery Channel show.
Seems he saw mine and liked it cause he ordered the exact same one only in Black.
Way to go Steve!

Maybe if you would give a proper review of this stove, then Steve would get more customers

Well, now I know the last stove that Sandra Bullock would ever buy.

According to Steve: "He was inspired by the monster stove I built last year for a local maple syrup maker."

Now he has some where else to put his wood.

I'd like to see Jesse James build a custom wood stove for heating really large spaces. I've thought about that. What would you heat a good size pole barn with. Traditional wood stoves wouldn't heat that much.

Buck 94 will put a dent in it, 4 cubic feet of fire box, its a monster.

He sent him a pic of my stove early in the process and that is what he ended up purchasing.

I'm cornfused here. My guess is Jesse contacted Steve because that is what he already is building. Monster stoves to heat monster spaces.

There was a good reason why I didn't do that. Those lines are a little blurred now I'll admit.

I thought this was going to be about you purchasing/acquiring some elm from a celebrity. Even celebrity elm is stringy, I bet.

4 cuft is pretty small compared to a 30" Elm and especially a 36" Elm.

I think there is some confusion over what an Elm stove is. The comment about Jesse building his own got me to thinking. Heck yes he could have built his own but it would have to have been all steel. You can't fabricate cast iron and the Elm only has one steel part, the barrel. Technically 3 if you add the burn tubes in there. The rest is all cast iron parts outside of the soap stone and glass and wood handles. I'll bet you can't do a one off Elm as cheaply as Steve sells them for if you had to make all the cast molds yourself. Same goes for any cast stove on the market.

With any luck, Jesse will get a good hot blaze going, and insert himself into the stove.
Amazing how such a pc of chit, could be as he has been and still be so arrogant.
His 15 minutes are up. Even got his arse wooped on a 3way bike build off against the Tutals(spelling).
Jr stomped Jesse after Jesse as usual, *(not a fan of Jr either), spouted the usual arrogant spew from his skank kissing and prolly canker sore covered lips.
Jesse oh Jesse just go away already.

What is the cubic feet of your stove, I read a post of yours just the other day saying you were not that impressed with your stove compared to the Nashua.

 

[wkpoor]

I'm not quite smart enough to what the actuall space is for wood but the barrel is 5.45 cuft. Subtracting for brick and baffle would lessen it some but to be fair how many stoves do the same and give actual wood space volumes.
AS for less than impressed I must have been a little misleading. I wouldn't go back to the Nashua for nothing no way no how. With that being said I do believe the Nashua could throw more raw heat in a given point in time. And if you want to park yourself right beside it and continously throw wood at it its a mean heatin machine. But leaving the Nasua meant leaving 1-2 cold restarts a day and a host of steel box stove mechanical issues that I don't miss at all. So I, just as so many others that find out when they learn the clean air wood burning technology, found that a long even burn is way more important than many quick bursts of intense heat.

 

[oldspark]

Your post stated that you did not have the heat so maybe I misunderstood that as you not being impressed, still not sure why you could not get long burns with the Nashua. I believe the Buck 95 will be close to holding as much wood as the elm but that is impressive.

I've never seen one of his shows on tv though I know quite well who he is. Me and Steve even had a few words about it. My thoughts were, since I've never actually met him face to face, I wouldn't judge him by what I see on tv. I don't believe half what I see and most of what I read. Who knows how much goes on in the celebrity world for the sake of keeping the name alive be it good or bad. With all that said he probably is a really a good fabricator and if I were in Steve's shoes I would be very happy someone with obvious commercial influence took notice of my product. If it actually makes it onto the tube than all the better.

I want some of your maple syrup.

Short burn times were probably me just pushing the envelope with the stove more than anything. I know I could fill it to the gills before bed and in the morning it would be a cold pure ash condition unless I got up at least twice in the night. Now I half load the Elm and wake to 300 degree stove top and loads of relight coals 8hrs later. Thats pretty much a no brainer.
Also there were a few mechanical issues I was having to deal with on the Nashua and long term it was going to need attention. I don't doubt a minute my firings decreased the life of the stove but I kept it at 500 max most of the time. Heck the new owner practically uses it for a blast furnace and its faired non the worse. He did have to put the mig on it in quite a few places.

Loaded mine with Oak and had all night burns easy for 30 years, keep the house warm with some crappy windows and air leaks I have since fixed, really looking forward to hooking it up in the shop and see how it burns there.

Where you were you getting the 500 degree reading at?

Which model did you have? Can't remember the actual MN but mine you had to load E-W, had rods to hold logs back and it was wider than it was deep. Guy at work here has on that you load N-S and has a smaller door but the over stove dimensions are larger. The guy that has mine now barely gets 2 hrs out it lololl but he runs it pretty much wide open full throttle.
I thought about the context of my stove evolution. I went from the Nashua to the Magnolia. Really like the EPA technology, burns time OK, but we were cold. Just not enough stove for what I was asking it to do. Moved on to the Elm and got most of the heat back and long clean burn times. I wonder if I looked at a 24hr time frame if the house is actually warmer without the ups and downs. Bet it is even though the Nashua could make the basement over 80 and the Elm can't or hasn't yet.

Right in the middle of the top.

Sorry WK, didn't mean to stomp on your thread. It is well documented that Jesse beat his first wife, and we all know how he was with Sandra. So all the talent in the world don't make a pc of shat, any better than just that.
Ever listen to him talk. Maybe shop smart, but not much smarts about anything else. Like a teenager.
Anyways, I'll stay out of this now. Just expressing my views.
