  1. Thought my sister would get more on the Maine coast but it mid 30's and rain, maybe she flips over tonight and get some accumulating.
  2. If that pattern flips favorable the third week of Dec into the holidays, I'd be happy, good things can happen after that since it's primetime for us for the next few weeks after.
  3. You guys talking about this? Manual Hydraulic Log Splitter - 10 Ton (harborfreight.com) I have one but would rather use a Fiskars, can do it much faster, if I'm real lazy I use my gas powered splitter but I've only split one cord with it.
  4. My wife's been sick all week with Covid, she's feeling better today though so hopefully the end is near.
  5. I thought Google or some company was working on a new model.
  6. Wind can cause wreak all kinds of havoc with a wood stove. It all depends on the direction and your setup and no two are usually alike.
  7. Won't you guys adapt the new strength and weaknesses of the current models and adjust forecast based on that?
  8. My sister-in-law showed up to Thanksgiving sick as a dog, she ended up having covid, she got most of the people at dinner covid, with my other sister-in-law and husband losing they sense of smell/taste. I guess I was lucky, I didn't get it but my wife did. Kind of pissed at her showing up sick without taking a covid test, she took it Thanksgiving night and was positive. Too late for most at the dinner.
  9. Been going around, half my in laws have it and my wife too, I've been keeping my distance. How are your symptoms, Paulie?
  10. I agree that's why I got rid of the insert, the Firelight is a good stove, a friend of mine had 3 in his 5000sf house but after a few years switched over to Blaze Kings.
  11. What do you have for a stove? I had an insert but bought the Woodstock Progress Hybrid when they came out with them and sold the insert. High Performance Soapstone Hybrid Wood Stove | Woodstove
  12. Good advice, I was going to make another post about firewood but you covered it. I get 3 cords of wood and a pallet of compressed bricks each year, used to get the overnight logs but the price got ridiculous so I buy another brand.
  13. You can get those small corner doorway fans to move it around, but you want to get a fan to blow at the stove to get it circulation. I have an open floor plan with two stories, so I had a fire damper vent put in to get the heat upstairs, works great. I have a free stander stove in my fireplace, but you need a big opening to do that, otherwise you're better off with an insert, I've had both and prefer the heat from my free stander much better.
  14. I love Beech, there's not much to be had around where I live but it's a high BTU wood and nice smooth bark that doesn't leave a mess in the house.
  15. I have a good feeling about this December and winter in general, we've suffered enough the last few years.
  16. I guess that we say birch bender, I had 3 white birch in my front yard during the Oct 2011 paste storm and they bent down like PF's picture, I cut them up for firewood, like you say it's not good firewood, burn's fast like pine.
  17. I wasn't born until 61 but I remember being about 6-7 years old and sitting on my sled waiting for the snow to pile up. Don't have a great memory but 4-5 inches is what I recall.
  18. Good day for drying your wood, leaves blowing back into my lawn though.
