Where do you get all those blocks?  That's what I need.

[Scott7m]

They have those blocks here as well, there cutoffs from oak railroad ties

[DaveWertz]

I live right down the road from a railroad tie processing plant. The "biggest" distributer on east coast. Plus my grand dad that I bought the house from worked there for 30+ yrs and gave me a connect to get the wood before he passed. That blue truck he owned since the 80's and only drove 5 miles a week the whole time, its soul purpass was to bring wood home. That was my paps hobby was stacking his wood piles

These pictures were taken before or while I was stocking the wood. It is full , 5 x21`x5` high on both sides now.

Nice set up Pit Crew,  I plan on building something similar this spring. 

Do you have any problems with the smoke staining the back of your shelter there and is the stack far enough above the roof that you don't have problems with draft.  Or maybe it doesn't matter with forced draft.

[Pit Crew]

the only problem with the smoke staining is on the front of the boiler itself. But I have found a couple cleaners that takes it off with little effort. The stack is plenty high enough as  you can see in  this pic. No draft problems at all. I will be putting sides on the shelter in the spring and 4` or so on each side of the front for apperance. With a strong blowing snow it still gets on the wood withhout the sides on.

  Or should I call you lucky dog.       Have you ever even cut firewood for your stove?     Can I move next door to you .

First pic is the gear, 856 IH with loader and boom pole,
Second is the front loader loaded,
Third is the boom pole loaded,
Fourth and fifth are two of the piles needing cut up, (the first wood pile pic got reduced to a very small pile before it started raining (and I ran outta gas))

The stove is being built

[Pit Crew]

Nice build, I am a carpenter, builder by trade. I love to make and build things. I probably have burnt up maybe a dozen sticks welding in my life time. But I just started playing with a mig welder. I see a new addiction coming.....would love to beable to make on of these.

HAHA yeah I cut wood every once in awhile. Only when trees blow down. It is nice just to lay skids down and throw the wood in a big pile. A lot less effort than splitting and cutting. But it does take the fun out of having a chainsaw. Well if you want to live in PA there are a few houses close to me and the railroad tie company that just went for sale. Not sure where you live but this area isn't the greatest for jobs unless you want to work for a gas company. Im not cut out for 100+hrs a week though.
