What Is A Wood Stove?

[windthrown]

Also from your analogy, my wood burning appliance is in a larger metal box, as I live in a mobile home.

Also some stoves are better than others, like some saws are better than others. Newer saws get better gas mileage, like newer stoves get more heat per unit volume of wood burned in them. Secondary and tertiary air intakes and catalytic converters help wood burn more efficiently. Also it helps to have a tight box which applies to Alice as well

Well, where I put my wood, I do not call it a stove. Things do heat up in there, but I call her Alice. If I got her knocked up I would call it 'having one in the oven', but she is still not a stove.

I see you're affectionately referring to your stove as Alice. Have you made Alice airtight and does she come with a lifter leg and poker?

Check how fast the days are getting longer. More than 5 minutes every day! Also note how much farther the sun is getting from the earth.

I have three stoves-- one each in the house, cabin, and sauna. My big beast Nashua in the house is my favorite because it's the simplest. Like you were saying, it's a big steel box that burns big pieces of wood. Two baffles on the door and a damper on the pipe. Burns hot and long.

Lots of guys have been burned like that.

Yeah pretty soon there will be enough light to go out n do something productive in the evening besides sit around and contemplate your burning wood on AS.
Just out of curiosity, what kind of internet connection you have up there Gypo?

I have this little apple ipad mini tablet with a cellular connection with Virgin mobile. It costs 10$/GB/ month, so I try not to go over 5 gig. With the right settings the tablet will last a full 10 hours on a full charge.
I guess if I didn't have the net I'd just be reading books and stoking two stoves.

I'd also be packing on winter fat as well. Lol

So must be a tower nearby, eh? I though maybe you were out in the boondocks somewheres, but if there is a tower, must be at least a few other peeps around

 

[Gypo Logger]

Yes, I'm close to the airport on a 15 acre lot in Haines Junction Yukon, pop. 800 peeps.

Yah, both my brothers and my nephew got burned that way. I was once as well, but that gal had a miscarriage.

I like tight boxes.
