I am 90% done replacing an inefficient heatilator open fireplace with a Pacific Energy FP-30 (pics coming one of these days). I have been slowly scrounging wood for the last 3+ years. It's been a bit of a struggle as I have only lived in the area for 4 years. Almost all of my scrounging has been from Craigslist. I finally found a local source with a potential long term relationship that will benefit us both. I had faith that it would happen eventually, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't starting to worry.
I only got a small load today as the afternoon heat started wearing on me. The stack in the back is roughly 1.5 cord of 18-19 wood. This new load is the start of my 19-20 wood.
Moral of the story - keep on it and don't lose hope. You will eventually get a break and things will go your way!![[Hearth.com] Finally got a break](https://www.hearth.com/talk/data/attachments/199/199584-7a61be1d619c679a8481fb0afc5ad4f0.jpg?hash=jkVmn21i1a "[Hearth.com] Finally got a break")
