Wood not seasoned--no problem!!!!!!!!!!

I'm thinking this might violate fire code--along with common sense:

Especially when he posts a picture of the data plate which clearly states clearances.

LOL, that's just 15 minutes up the road from me. We've never been accused of being the smartest people in the region.

Oh yeah, that's fine . . . probably just needed to dry out some wet wood. I mean people put wet wood on their woodstoves all the time to dry it out so this must be safe, right?



OK, just for the record in case someone didn't see the Smileys . . . this is a very, very, very bad idea . . . unless you would like to meet the men and women in your local fire department some night.

Classic.
Looks like a nice furnace.
FWIW I have a buddy that does similar and he actually put wood blocks under the legs of his wood stove to raise it up a bit. Brilliant for easing the loading, until you consider what the actual PURPOSE of a wood-stove is...
He's a smart guy, but he didn't listen at all when I told him it might burn his house down.
3 years of hounding & he's still rockin' the "seasoned" Red Oak burned on delivery.

looks like only his wood stacking is violating any thing and thats his choice .

C'mon...What's the worst that could happen?

I just don't think that is 24" side clearance.........How can people sleep at night and not fear waking up to an inferno
