i ran mine all last summer . even when it was 95 degrees here in Iowa in the late summer it never overheated.
Only thing i noticed is i had to put about a 1/2 gallon of water in it this fall.. i suppose it may evaoporated a bit through the summer. but besides that as long as you have no air leaks you should have no problems running through summer.'
And ya i think i would throw a few pieces in it every 3-4 days.. kinda gives you a good feeling all summer,, but then when it gets cold it seems like its burning alot.. but by this time when i starts warming up again it gets put back in to prespective...
I love the hot continous showers all summer.... enjoy

I totally agree with Scott.. cheaper isnt always better.. I bought some out of Wisconson.. they were priced pretty comparable to Scott's price. But I had to pay shipping.. So I would say Scott's got a good deal on them.. Whatever you do dont buy cheap chinese ones. your going to have a hell of a mess if they start leaking.. get good quality copper.. cheper today may cost twice as much down the road... good luck with your purchase..
my opinion is go with 1" on inlet and outlet.. keep the flow up...

« on: March 29, 2013, 10:19:25 PM »
OK... GUYS DONT LAUGH ME OUT OF HERE.. BUT HEAR ME OUT
WE CLEARED ABOUT 4-5 ACRES OF TIMBER OUT WHERE A NEW HOME WAS BUILT. WE HAVE STUMPS THAT HAVE BEEN SITING FOR 2-3 YEARS.. ALL THE DIRT HAS BEEN SHAKEN OUT OF THEM. BUT STILL SOME MASSIVE HUNKS OF WOOD.
IM THINKING OF BUILDING A OWB " STUMP BURNER "
IM THINKING A FIRE BOX OF ABOUT 8' x 8'
1) HOW MUCH DO YOU GUYS THINK WATER JACKET WOULD NEED TO BE?
WAS PLANNING ON BUILDING A CONV. STYLE UNIT FORCED AIR
AM I OFF MY ROCKER GUYS?
I GOT AROUND 55 STUMPS AND TREES WERE 3FT TO 4 FT AROUND
I KNOW IT MAY NOT BE COST EFFECTIVE IF I DID BUILD IT... BUT SURE WOULD BE FUN TO MAKE ONE. I DID SEE A POST ON HERE OF A GUY THAT BUIILT ONE THAT WOULD HOLD A 1500 LARGE ROUND BALE.
THAT WOULD BE BIGGER THAN WHAT IM THINKING. BUT HE SAID HE COULD GO 3 WEEKS ON A FILL.... I WOULD LIKE TO GET A MONTH ON A FILL( OR A STUMP OR TWO!!! LOL

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Empyre questions
« on: March 21, 2013, 11:03:41 PM »
Ok guys.. need your input or ideas.
Yesterday couldnt get stove over 150.. and it ended up being my 6"stove pipe had a hole the size of my finger left in the very top. It is at 17 ft high. I have stove inside a building and needed that height to get over my peak.
Anyways. It was only the top 1 inch of pipe, besides that the rest of the pipe was perfect clean..
So my question is have any of you guys had this same issue and if so what did you do besides clean it?
Was wondering is i added a 12" piece of single wall at the top? Its double wall pipe, jsut thinking it might be cooling off and causing build up.
I have no rain cap on on it so there is no restriction there. But again it was ONLY the top inch...but it was quite a sight seeing and 1/2" hole left in a 6" pipe..
Throw your ideas guys....

I dont split any of my wood either. I dont have a splitter, so any logs over 20" rounds I just "noodle" them in half. I feel that like the post above, split wood burns faster. Plus dont have a splitter; just a MS660 and a MS880 soon... found a used one with 20 hrs on it today. Gonna pick it up next week.
