Paper and wood

Only wood, newspapers, junk mail (no glossy)and documents that could be used for id theft. Don't want those chemicals from the other aforementioned things in my lungs!:popcorn:
 
Tires, bottles, milk jugs, roofing shingles,old tennis shoes, horse manure, used oil, brush, leaves, old magazines, egg cartons ( styrofoam or cardboard), old televisions, old radios.........pretty much anything. Nothing like free heat!!!

Your right, I don't give a flying F***












JUST KIDDING! JUST KIDDING! Just trying to get a rise out of you guys.:)
 
Dont sweat it, I have found that nothing clears the flue like a can of day-glow orange Krylon. Flea bombs works well but dont leave the pretty color and smooth surface in the flue. I have found they work best when loaded from the top during a heavy burn. Twice a season suffices.
 
Sometimes I burn wood

It seems like about once a year this subject crops up. In order to demonstrate absurdity, I have to set fire to absurd things once in awhile.

My stove is in my workshop. So it can see all sorts of "nasty" things once in awhile. Just about the time some wacko shows up to lecture me (on my own soap box no less, :angrysoapbox: ) I peel off my latex gloves and toss them into the fire....

Stuff that has been flamed:
Used motor oil.
Carburetor cleaner
Acetylene and Oxygen (gets stuff going pretty well)
Propane
Paint thinner
paper
cardboard
foam peanuts (not often)
hunks of rubber (not often)
magazines & junk mail
plastic sacks and soda bottles (not often)
blown out tennis shoes (one time)
toilet paper (not often...)
Cigarette butts (not recently, I quit the things)

Most of the time it is firewood. Little starter to get things lit.
