Firewood

[wader]

yesterday was the first day since Halloween that I didn't light the stove - looks like tonight going to be a repeat - getting very "Springy Feeling" down here

Got a heads up from one of my local tree guys that he was dropping 5-6 right by me
Swung by after a visit to Long Ireland this afternoon
Plenty more to grab the next day or 2

Looks like I'll have the fire going all day today. Decided not go with a zero clearance fireplace in the new house and will have a wood stove installed and take advantage of the 26% tax credit now available. Looking at a Vermont Casting Encore. Never had a top loader before.

I've had to use mine the last couple of nights which is unusual for down here at this time of the year.

Damn, had to load up the stove again this morning.
Good thing I brought 2 wheelbarrows of wood from the piles out back to the sun porch yesterday after work.
Each time I've done that (or ordered my son to do it ) the last 2-3 weeks I keep saying to myself I'm sure this is the last time of the season LOL

found a copy of the manual for my stove in pdf format on line
here's what it says:
Follow these safety precautions:
Never modify this Fireplace Insert in any way, especially the primary air control system. Never burn kiln dried wood, painted or treated wood, solvents, trash, plywood, colored or glossy paper, plastic, artificial logs, cardboard, coal, or driftwood. Especially, do not burn coal in this Fireplace Insert.

I wonder why no Kiln dried

 

[Chinacat]

I wonder why no Kiln dried

not sure
I'm looking through it for any explanation but don't see nothing
When I first got it I read it cover to cover and that stuck out to me.
It rules out using scraps of cut lumber for kindling

Been googling it it seems its great for wood stoves it burns hotter
