Firewood

Well, I just got majorly "fired" up to gather as much wood as possible.
The oil I burn is primarily for hot water
last week I noticed my tank was down to about a 1/4
Figured I better order a delivery to get through winter.
That was Wednesday and i was told price was $4.72 a gallon but I pay the price on day of delivery, not day I order.
Delivery came today
$5.62 a gallon :mad::mad:
Total for 177 gallons was $1,000 and change.
Holy F'in Sh*T
The heat will not be on in my house unless its coming from the wood stove

having the wood stove's chimney "swept".............

a new neighbor a few houses down is having some trees dropped right now and I'm going to hook up the trailer and start hauling it back here
Nice and close LOL8-)

Today
Sunny, with a high near 58. West wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph.
Tonight
Mostly clear, with a low around 39. West wind 6 to 9 mph.

Wow! It's early to be seeing these temperatures around here.
:oops:

That's more like December temps. Maybe be firing her up tonight.

Early this morning before sunrise I saw 34 on outdoor thermometer
When I got in the car to leave at 8:30 there was frost all over the front slope of my roof ???‍♂️?‍♂️

she's lit...

Sitting inside with the stove cranking and seeing its 36 outside without the wind chill and a toasty 75 inside??
Makes all the back busting work worthwhile to not be burning oil at the current price?

N

Nice!!
Up and running?
Just curious, how far off the wall is that?
Tough to see in the picture but it looks there is something on the wall but not too big?

Just a shadow behind the stove. The stove is 9" off the wall and the double wall pipe is 11". This is a Quadra Fire Discovery I and is the easiest starting stove I've ever had in 40 yrs of burning wood.

But you know this state's leaders want you to stop doing that because carbon footprint, right?

Firewood has a smaller carbon foot print than coal or oil. The particulates emitted during the burning is the major concern.

That’s awesome!
I wasn’t aware that that’s enough clearance?
Must have great draft and be very efficient

All of my research confirms the same

The stove has a heat shield in the back and the double walled pipe cuts the clearance. All to code no fooling around with any of my stoves. The stove (its a non cat) is quite efficient and qualifies for the federal tax credit.

I wouldn’t think you were cutting corners and I hope you didn’t think I was questioning that in any way. It was was about my own curiosity and interest ??
From what I’m told, the cat stoves are more work and require bringing them to and maintaining a specific temperature for maximum efficiency

Nope we're on the same page. I had two cat stoves and definitely more babysitting involved. 25o down here you guys must be in the teen. Happy Thanksgiving.
