Sitting down on the job? Ya that would kill my back sitting down and bending over like that. I'd much rather stand and split wood like a normal position. That's way too low for my liking.

I also monitor flue temps with my stove to determine when to close the air down. It’s much quicker to respond than the stove top. I like the draft meter, nice tool to really fine tune your burn.

Are you using a fresh air intake run outside?
@AlecsHomestead26 күн бұрын
I’m not able to since my living room is half below grade. Fresh air intakes aren’t able to be run vertically as they may act as a chimney instead of an intake.

@@SpartanTrees No problem. I would think renting one would be worth it if you only rent it once a year after you accumulate a years worth of wood bucked into rounds. Otherwise I would buy it, that way you can do it little by little as you have free time

I just bought one of these 6days ago and after using it a few times and trying to split these 16"-18" rounds of this stringy poplar it twisted the I-beam! Engine would stall out and I'd have to feather the control to get through and now I see the front seal is leaking on the cylinder! The 22 ton Huskee I got would go into low-range and power right through these same pieces but not this 25 ton countyline.. supposed to bring it and the wood into the store i bought it from tomorrow.. I'm thinking I don't want a replacement, I want a refund

How often do you sweep you chimney? Have you ever had a runnaway up your stovepipe and if so what method did you use to get it under controll? Also just courious what is in the bowl on top of your stove.
@AlecsHomestead4 ай бұрын
I sweep my chimney 2-3 times a year since it’s easy enough. Once in December and maybe once in February depending on if the wood was seasoned enough. I always sweep at the beginning of the season before I burn as well. I’ve never had a chimney fire because I’m a stickler for making sure the stove is running properly to not have smoke coming the chimney. I have had runaway stove on my previous stove due to a bad glass gasket. I would either throw baking soda, or ash on the fire to choke it out and then immediately shut the door. It’s just a steamer full of water on the stove to put some more moisture in the air.

@@dundeeecroc those old stoves were able to choke down further than what these new EPA stoves are able to unfortunately. This stove is also good for 10 hours at least, it’s just that the wood I’m using was cut to length for a stove half the size so I get half the burn time I could get.

@AlecsHomestead6 ай бұрын
@@jefffarm2944 the colder it is the higher it will get due to increased draft. Mine usually cruises around 600-650 with a full load. Are you shutting the air down in time? If not that could be a reason yours goes that high. What is your chimney setup? The taller the chimney the more draft and the hotter it can potentially get.
