Well, at least he has imitation brick walls ................................... Next year maybe we'll build the fireplace to put it in

Next year he'll build a whole new home!

Yeah, when this one burns down. I wouldn’t consider his setup a “best practice”

Exactly

This guy fits into the "My firewood is ready to burn in one season" crowd

Now if that fire was not burning I would just think that someone just threw everything in there to possibly get rid of it or move it in the future---but its actually burning--wow--that's stupidity..Hard to believe this is true but look at that fire stove burn wood---terrible...clancey

think he's just trying to dry it a bit longer...

Correct. But in an unsafe way. There are clearance requirements to combustibles for any stove. Suffice to say the wood is a combustible, and I've never heard of clearances of less.than 1/20"...

certainly.
i was being Wisconsin sarcastic.

 

[stoveliker]

New terminology to me... I'll try to remember that.

Nothing says safe like a pile of 200-300 degree wood in the middle of your house. What could go wrong?

Clearly this was a brilliant FB marketplace post. He knew that we would all react and then someone would buy the stove to save him from himself. It was incredible reverse psychology! 😁

Many years ago, my wife and I planned to fly to Phoenix in February for her birthday. Long story short, we got to the airport too close to takeoff and they wouldn't let us board. Dejected we then salvaged the trip by heading up to the cabin. It was one of those -40 degree weekends with highs in the -25 range. It also happened that I did not do a good job of anticipating wood needs the prior year. All of the wood was still a little green and we need to burn wood like crazy to keep the place warm. I went out and split wood into smaller and smaller pieces and we stacked them vertically around the stove to get a little extra drying before going in....albeit a safer distance than the pictures above. I've never forgotten the 120 degree temperature swing between Phoenix and northern MN that weekend. I always have a good wood supply now.

he might of been just looking to die

 

[bigealta]

He’s got an A frame and wire fence heat shield. Should be just fine.

Perhaps a bit more reasonable indoor kiln set up? Picked up some curbside trash wood that’s pretty much soaked.

 

[Stinkpickle]

LOL! There’s a lot going on there.
