General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Comments on how Good you smell from stoking your fire.
« on: January 13, 2015, 08:13:16 AM »
It's kind of a manly cologne.. I agree, I don't seem to smell it as much anymore although I know it's there.. I quit smoking years ago and sometimes when I open the door and a huge puff cloud comes out in my face I get the feeling like I just threw down a heater... Even get a little taste in the mouth... works for me! My wife likes the smell too...

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Gas fired Power Plant might be buying me out!?
« on: January 09, 2015, 03:51:56 PM »Is John Rambo in this movie too? Holy moly...Yeah it sure sounds like they weren't going to buy properties unless you approach them to me. I hate to raise hell and bring attention to me but that's just what Im going to do. My girlfriend is from South Jersey and knows some "high profile" people. She is contacting her lawyer friend and seeing what we should do from here. I guess next week they will be bringing in choppers to thread the power lines from the power station to the power plant itself. That should be neat to see. Still an eye sore!
check on what are acceptable noise levels in your neighborhood... and start raising hell about all the sound !!...if u ain't got a small baby ...go borrow one...keep it up late the nite before... so there will be plenty of whaling/carrying on... as the loud chopper noise will do the rest
Oh wow sounds like something out of a movie, been watching to much tv atvalaska!?

Fire Wood / Re: Nervous about Stolen Wood.
« on: December 11, 2014, 03:10:08 PM »
If someone is going to come onto my property they will be met by my BIG German Shepherd.. I would think if someone is going around steeling stuff taking wood would be a lot of work for them... I suppose it happens tho...

AirForcePOL, are you noticing a drastic difference in your wood usage with the Heatmaster vs your old Hardy? Just curious.

General Discussion / Re: hunting
« on: November 08, 2014, 07:17:14 PM »
I've been out bow hunting and have not had any luck.. Yet... I will wait until gun season ends and then head back out there. This gives me a couple weeks to try and get the farm buttoned down for winter and get more wood cut. As far as kids these days, we are doing our best to raise our 3 young sons to understand what a good days worth of work is. Today we butchered our last batch of chickens for the year and 2 of the 3 boys were out helping. It was cold and miserable out there and I told them they did not have to help but they insisted. I try and be a good role model for them and part of that is that they are always watching. Even if they are not physically helping 100% of the time they see what needs to be done. Whether its hunting or raising your own meat it's important for kids to understand how that meat gets to the table. More kids (adults too) need to better understand this...

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Question about coal
« on: October 30, 2014, 01:52:38 PM »
I was just at the local feed store getting feed and noticed they have a pile of coal. I asked the guy how much and he said $59.00 per bob cat scoop. I know some of you guys burn a little coal and just curious if that is a decent deal. I'm in North Central MN. He said the coal came in from North Dakota and they have been selling a fair amount of it... The chunks all looked to be 6 to 12 inch.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Best location for the fire
« on: October 30, 2014, 07:30:03 AM »
I keep mine in the back closer to the blower. Have not had the fire go out yet. When it's warmer out I put in smaller piece on the bottom and then throw a larger one on the top. No need to pack it full.. I put in just enough to get a 12 hour burn at a time. I'm sure more fellas will chime in but this is what I have found works for me.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: My hardy blower...
« on: October 29, 2014, 02:31:38 PM »
My guess is that they are back drafting a bit.. Not sure if there is anyway to prevent this... The fan blows air thru a short tube thingy and that tube thingy is covered in creosote... The grate over the opening from the blower also has build up on it.

I've dealt with the same blower issue for my H5. Pooped out last year when it was -20 and I got it going again after banging on it. That afternoon I drove any hour to my dealer to pick up a new one and a spare cartridge for the pump. I left the old blower on because it kept working with the intent of changing it out when things warmed up. Well, this year when I fired it up the old blower has worked fine. I say old (2.5 years).. In my book that's not old and If I have to replace one every 2 years I ain 't gonna be happy... So, I think before we get into the really cold air I will put the new one on just to be safe... I realize things dirty and do have a life span but they are not cheap....
