It been over 100 ° here in the Mid-West the last week or so and i think today is the last of it . Do all that needs to be done in the AM and once the sun goes down . Sucking on A/C and a few cold ones during the day and save the out side stuff for nite . I sit here and think of all the moisture that is getting sucked out of the wood pile with weather like this . The heat dries me out , I'm to be sure the wood pile is doing the same.
it has been in the upper 80s here in southern maine, but the dew point has been in the upper 70s and the humidity has been about 80%. Not much wood drying going on out here. I am trying to figure out how to make a wood fired air conditioner. Any Ideas?

if they can make refrigerators run on propane surely a wood powered a/c unit is possible.
I got the truck a/c fixed at the local shop.
Yup...an arm and a leg!
Now the weather is cool and rainy.
Ahhhh irony. Don't you love it?
I can't wait for cold weather so I can resume singeing my knuckle-hairs properly.
The charcoal grill just isn't the same.

It's been real hot on the west coast this past week. Seattle has been in the 90's for several days, Portland in the low hundreds. We set a record high overnight temp yesterday. These folks aren't used to the heat and really are wilting. Today is cloudy and cool, first time in a couple weeks. Heads up east coast, this will likely be heading your way.
That heat must be hard on sales. Do you sell anything besides stoves?
We sell and install High end Evaportative coolers. AKA Swamp coolers
Cooling my new store with one keeping the temp to 20deg below OUTSIDE temp and feel great. COST TO RUN? $10-$30 per month. www.aireze.com
