Pot bellied stove
« on: Today at 03:41:52 AM »
Well mines a wood burner and it’s been running pretty steady for the past few weeks. My pile was running low and I was starting to worry. I like to have a supply for power outages etc. everyone was out so I had to pay a premium price butt I received a premium product, all seasoned cherry.
   My plan is to not get caught with my pants down again as I have a place to cut downed trees. Hopefully it won’t be one of those “ best laid plans “ deals.

With the temperature's around here, having been so low, have been burning both fireplaces inserts, basement and in living room, since middle of November. I estimated around 3 1/2 cords of wood when the boys and I had finished cutting and splitting last fall. I know it's less than a 1/2 cord left. Just burning the one in the living room now, we're suppose to warm up a little next week, somewhere around 40 or so. Last few weeks, it hasn't been above 20 degree's at all. Got some limbs out back, if I can, early next week, get the tractor going and pull up some to ''hopefully'' get me into March.
We keep trying peace, it usually doesn't work!!Remember(12/7/41)(9/11/01) gypsyman

I could have dug through the snow and gotten some firewood butt, I just bought some and had it dumped on a tarp, stocked some around and a bit in my house and some stacked and tarped. I may move some more today or not as I’m fighting a cold. Important thing is, I’ve got wood, which makes the wife happy :)

ive got a outside wood stove but i havent used it this year or last year. the son in law would give me free wood but with my back i cant get out to keep it going so i dont bother anymore. its gas for me anymore. my pile of wood is slowly used for the sauna when i can feed that. told the wife its time to go gas or electric with that too when the wood pile is gone.
