post a pic of your wood burner in use...

Nibbling away at some aspen rounds. It's been warm out so wood consumption has been down.

Furnace room temp.

New install very happy now I got it figured out...

 

[svk]

Ten degrees out. The door to our uninsulated sun porch has been open all day. Coldest room in the house is 73 degrees.

That feeling when your wife complains about it being too hot in the house.

That elitist stove doesn't look like it's putting out any heat!
Very nice!

you mean this 300 dollar craigslist find? yeah it sucks. wish it had a bigger firebox and longer burn times. but it was about the only thing that would fit into my fireplace.

It didn't turn out too bad... The install was a bitch though...

Nice job! How much do you think you have into it after it was all said and done?

the stove or the whole install?

Stove, about 50 in POR15 1200 degree ceramic paint, 40 bucks in brick and 2o on a rope seal. So about 400 in the 2500 dollar stove! I'm very happy with it. I wish the blower was a higher CFM though.

Just lots of sanding, wire brushing, cleaning. I want to say the liner and insulation was close to 1200.

5 degrees outside and 76 degrees inside.

Here is a picture of my owb that I built with a normal size fire going.

Below is a pic of the stack when I am using my guaranteed no hassle fire starting method of dousing everything in used oil and gasoline and then turning the blower up all the way. Don't worry no neighbors close enough to be bothered.

Yeah, but looky there in that there tree to the left of the stack, isn't that one of them super rare white bellied-tuft eared-three toed-tailless squirrels?! OWB smoke has been shown by tree hugger research to cause birth defects in said super rare squirrels! You should feel bad, very bad!

At about 9:00:

"Woudja stop putting wood in the stove? I told you it's too damn hot in here!"

At that point there was a foot of coals so it didn't really matter lol.

Awesome job and nice stove! I love to see a useful tool brought back from non-functional. Good on you man.

thanks.. It was more of a function and price standpoint for me. I was very limited to what I could fit in the small fireplace, and after one winter in the new house with oil, I said never again...

the guy that sold it had it in a rental house and took it out because he didn't want the liability of renters burning the place down, then it sat outside uncovered for years.... I could afford to fix it up, I couldn't afford to buy it new.. I guess I've always been that way when it comes to saws, cars, tractors, etc.
