Getting ready for winter

[Backwoods Savage]

Got some wood stacked on the porch now. It will have a little more time to dry before it gets cold.



Having all this wood, we decided it would be a good idea to get a new stove this year too. Neighbor is really handy and helped me a lot on the installation.



Had some problems with the flue but then the neighbor came up with another great idea.

I'm sure that the flue drafts really good Dennis, especially when it's 90 degrees outside and 96 percent humidity.....nevermind all the elbows and downward dips in it!

 

[Backwoods Savage]

It should Scott. Did you notice those heat exchangers above the pipe?

Yes I did....BRILLIANT!! All you need now is an old blacksmith bellows and someone willing to sit there and fan over them all day long!

In that first picture Sav, is that ladder so you can get out while the wife is sleepingto the local tavern.

 

[Backwoods Savage]

No. That is the fire escape.

I did. It was pookerized.

Ya, but this pre-dated the "Magic" heat exchanger. It's just the standard version.

The heck with all that "three years in the stack" bullcrap....that's the way to dry your firewood!

Dennis, you trade in the Fireview for that new fangled stove? Sure is purty.

She ran back to the city...no need to use it.

Ta-daaaa! Behold the final version of the Union! Window looks about the same size as the Fv, Dennis. Did you get an ash pan this time or do you just blow the ash out the side with a compressed-air hose?

 

[Paulywalnut]

even if you run out of dry wood, you can start burning the house siding and porch.
It looks good and dry.

It will probably end up burning anyway, whether he puts it in the stove or not.

I knew that Dennis was holding out on us Looks like it has very good clearance requirements!

I'm guessing he brings the donkey in and lets it fart on the stove to remove the ashes.

Got a whale of a deal!

 

[Backwoods Savage]

What? Didn't anybody notice the wood drying on the top of the stove?

You mean the stove actually had a fire in it ?

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Had to have a fire to take the dampness out Dave. Then we had to heat water so we could bath....

Check post #9. If you didn't spend so much time on stove engineering, you could hone your reading skills.
Hey, wait a minute. You "liked" that post. Get out of there quick, Dennis! The CO level is affecting your thought process!
