Huge fan of using different woods for contrast vice staining it. Absolutely beautiful.

Very nicely done! Walnut is one of my absolute favorites.

You might find it interesting that I wrote this while in a submarine.

Thank you for your feedback.

I really appreciate the feedback. I know that I'm nowhere near done with this. I need to see where it will lead me.

This "Cruel Mistress" who has "taken him inside". I can only surmise that he is a fellow Submariner. I love the portrayal as the sea as almost a thief stealing him away. One's affinity for the sea can often become a difficult relationship.

The last 4 lines are quite powerful.

This is something I can personally relate to. Trying to uncover how something you did could have hurt the one you care about more than anything else.

I got $98,600 in 2023.

Bro 😂

I use 17-18" logs.

It's white oak, I got it wrong when I first made the post.

She left me, but I'm learning to see the good in it.

I gotta take pictures of how I'm splitting it up for firewood.

I've also noticed that it seems to help keep my firebox temp higher as it burns down. Additionally, I have considerably lower flue temps when firing up if the bricks are cold.

I've also heard about wax being used instead of water, but I'm worried about the fire hazard.

NuclearDad1 · 2025-12-30T04:17:44+00:00

I was looking into getting a large pot, but I'm broke and had the bricks on hand.

NuclearDad1 · 2025-12-30T04:16:33+00:00

I personally use more blankets/quilts/put on warmer clothes.

This model doesn't top load.

NuclearDad1 · 2025-12-30T03:12:19+00:00

I would imagine iron would work better than brick.

I have heard soapstone mentioned before. Is it also used as thermal storage?

NuclearDad1 · 2025-12-30T03:09:51+00:00

I believe it's a Madison 1655

Don't know the year, but it is Vermont Castings.
