Removing baffeles from your stove and burning it!!

[Jason721]

I'm in my local tractor supply store the other day and see there wood stoves on display. .I can't help myself and seem to always stop and look at a stove. A gentleman walks up to me while I'm looking one of them over and starts a conversation about the stove I was looking at and tells me he has one and they are junk and to get his to burn he took all the baffeles out and the fiber board!! I didn't ask him any questions.


but I'm thinking YIKES. .That has to be dangerous and wonder as I'm leaving the store why would someone do such a thing other than trying to burn very green wood.

Sounds about right. Trying to burn wet wood. Ive found it best to ignore unsolicited opinions and advice from strangers in stores for just such reasons.

I love talking to armchair engineers that venture outside into the public.

Couldn't figure out how to run it right, doesn't ask for help, then turns it into a smoke dragon (sigh).

That's like the fellow I saw at the local gas pumps the other day. Telling a few people quite loudly that woodstoves are on their way out. They are being banned, he says. Very soon, he says. It was kind of funny when I told him I was a sweep and hadn't heard of any such imminent ban.

People get goofy ideas in their heads. Pulling baffles/boards out is one of them.

I bet he squirts lighter fluid on the wood to get it going -

The funny thing is, there are people reading your comment, scratching their heads and wondering what's wrong with that! :D

On Petty-coat Junction they soaked to wood for the boiler fire on the train in fuel oil to make the train run faster.

That's the best sales pitch I have ever heard.

I did it when I first started learning in it lol. Now I know better. Dry kindling and splits make all the difference in the world :D

Yep. One match, no accelerants or fancy fire-starters needed or wanted.

I'm betting that there aren't that many folks here thinking this way . . . not if they've been hanging out here for a bit reading the various threads.
