Fire Wood / Re: Looking for a recommendation for a supplier of a load of logs near Fenton, MI

The $1900 includes delivery. He said it would be $1800 normally, but he would have to add the $100 to come down my way.

This seems reasonable from the other quote I got, which was $1960 for 20 cord. But this guy said that his truck will hold more like 22-23 cord sometimes. So they determine how much it comes out to once they drop it off. This seemed fishy, so not going with this guy.

I actually already talked to Mike. He will charge me $1900 for a 20 cord load. He said he would have to charge extra to come down my way. That's why I'm trying to find someone a bit closer.

I've got quite a bit of wood using craigslist. My plan is to get a log load this year to get a head start. Then I'll continue to get wood trough Craigslist and friends properties. Hopefully this will be the only year I buy wood.

Can anyone recommend a trustworthy person to supply me with a load of seasoned logs just South of Fenton, MI? I'm looking to get around 20 cord.

So there is some type of opening in the water jacket that releases water if it is overfilled or pressure builds up? I assumed that it was a sealed system.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Ridgewood water level

« on: November 14, 2013, 07:29:09 AM »

I recently bought a house with a Ridgewood 6000 wood furnace. The previous owner must have been preparing to take the stove with him, since the furnace water to air heat exchanger was disconnected from the system. I included the stove in the purchase though. I reconnected the furnace heat exchanger to the system, and lost a bit of water (probably 2-3 gallons) in the process. This got me thinking that I don't know how much water is in the system. Is there a way to check the water level? I have a jumper line with a valve running to the cold water line in my house for easy filling. I'm concerned with just opening the valve and letting the system fill, since this would pressurize the system a bit. Also, once it heats up it would pressurize it a lot. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to go about making sure I have a good level of water in the system?
