Ya I knew local dealer was ripping in to me at $40 .. I needed it in a panic he had to order it in took a week . They called it semi hose
But it must be the silicone hose its bright blue with red hose coating inside . and very soft rubber but super tuff .
That's exactly the stuff I got. Super soft, almost a little greasy blue outside and red inside. The new heavy trucks (semi's) are using it because of the durability in the higher heat engine compartments of emission controlled diesels.
I am watching my wood in my shed disappear quicker than ever before. I have plenty close by though so no worries. I am feeling good about all the money I am saving this year over propane. 2 years ago when we didn't have a winter I got sick of filling the wood, but this year I have been out splitting, cutting and moving (where I can between drifts) every chance I get even when it is below zero.

Yes it does the hose feels greasy . Hope it holds up on my second year with it looks like the day I put it on bit ash on it though
Yes wood consumption is record high . My average is 10-12 cord a season I will be at 15 cord as looks this total season . At some point you have to say well home was nice and warm anyway
ya there was a couple weeks felt like a wood marathon . I have a new record 1/3 of a cord oak in 1 day . It was Feb 6 . Still scratching my head about that one . Years like this let us know why we have a heatmor and the full setup.
Heating 2 houses with one stove really its kinda amazing it only took 15 cord thats 7.5 cord a house . There I made it sound better anyway
