Wood Stoves - An Update

[rstorrs]

Wood stoves have come a long way since the old pot belly stove heated homes and cabins. Today's stove is far more efficient and environmentally friendly than those of yesteryear and with the high cost of fossil fuels it's worth while looking into.

I think you should have turned left at trollheim general store you're lost. I know we talk about logs but we ride them and not in lumberjack ways.
Only time a log is burnt is when we throw it into the volcano as a sacrifice to bring up the surf.

Actually, we still use wood stoves up here in Oregon. Its cold up here!

We too have a log fire/stove it also adds to the hot Water for when the solar panels don't have enough sun.
not as cold as Oregon and no logging driftwood on the beaches, can that be a cheap source of firewood for you tony, BTW all our firewood is eucalyptus hardwood.
I did enjoy one of my trips to Oregon

I tried the beach drift wood, but it rusted out my wood stove. Best not to use beach wood with cast iron
stoves as the salt causes corrosion.

Did you get any surf? Where in Oregon did you go?

[jaffa1949]

No Tony unfortunately I never got to the beaches I went inland, around Fossil and the Cascades and did a rafting trip down the John Day river during a Fourth of July Holiday, the wild country of Oregon.
In fact I haven't surfed mainland States at all I've usually been in transit or on a mission.
Hawaii only once in 1969 into a bucket list now.
Slightly saw the city of Roses!

I bought a wood stove once - It caught fire

Hello esonscar,
Your wood stove caught on fire. What was it made out of?

[jaffa1949]

I think the answer he's going to give would be wood!

Not entirely of topic and a minor bump,
The thin fragment of wood you get up you fingernail when doing woodwork,
Australian call splinters, Americans call them slivers, apart from the swear words 'cause it hurts, by what other names are they known

[surf patrol]

In the UK it's splinters.
