Equipment / Re: My logsplitte build. With pics as i go.

« on: September 02, 2014, 08:42:11 AM »

It's on order.  Supposed to be delivered last of September.  I go in for double knee replacement ( I'm way too young for that but.....) this Thursday then rehabbing at my farm.  We already have 15 cords cut, split and stacked.  That part is done.  I have quite a few friends who have OWB's and they are all going to help on the install.  I'll keep you posted, in the meantime, as always, thank you for your help.

You've done a great job on the splitter.  It is very impressive.  The whole OWB concept is awesome but if you are like me and work A LOT OF HOURS, it can also be confusing.  I really wanted to stay with an American company and at our farm, we always try if possible to support small business.  We have an unlimited amount of wood at our disposal off our farm.  The efficiency is a concern but the bigger deciding factor for us is reliability with me being gone a lot.  Thank you again for your response.  The folks who participate in this forum are genuinely nice people.  I met one last month ( CountryBoyJohn ) and after meeting this young man and the people on this forum, there is still hope for our country.

Awesome splitter.  Hey Stewie, how do you like the HOSS 400?  Any comments on it's pros and cons?

We've got Maple trees around one of our lakes that is yellow/red/orange.  We've noticed that the Sassafras trees are starting to turn as well.  That is very early for southern Indiana.

BTW, where did you end up renting the drill and 6" bit to get through your basement wall?

Hey nice job on the install.  Us newbies really appreciate all of your efforts.  Do you mind if I PM you on a couple of Logstor questions I might have?  I need to buy some and you might be able to help me out.  We live in Owen County Indiana.  Thanks so much.

I am looking at either Thermo-Pex or Logstor.  Both appear to be fine products.  We visited with CountryBoyJohn this past weekend, a fine young man who answered many questions.  Kudos to him for making time for my wife and I.

Tennessee Outdoor Furnaces / Pex Pipe

« on: August 07, 2014, 09:47:29 AM »

For the guys who check out the Tennessee OWB site, I am curious on what type and manufacturer of Pex Pipe did you use.  I am getting ready to purchase pipe in the next few weeks and just like all of the OWB's out there, there seems to be a lot of options and price ranges on pipe.  As always, SLIMJIM's comments are welcome.  He's the most knowledgeable person I've come across.  Thanks in advance.

We all you a debt of gratitude SlimJim.  You and others have helped many achieve this dream of living independently.  I ordered my HOSS 400 from Tennessee OWB on Monday and plan on installing mid-September.  There are so many opinions on which pex pipe to use.  I'll continue to research and make a decision.  I have less than 80 feet to the house.

Hey Pops, what was the price from Greenville?  I am in the market for about 80 feet or so.  I have learned so much from this website!!!!
