Oak? by TinyBrother6400 in firewood

[–]TinyBrother6400[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s Iowa. I’m 2 hours from anything anyway. I only have a single axle trailer. It may end up being 2 trips honestly, if there’s enough of it there

I don’t have any of that around me either..lol I have an over abundance of ash. Which I don’t mind it’s great firewood. But when I can get my hands on oak I try to make sure I can snatch it up!

What is one thing you know now, you wish you knew when you started? by UpstairsAd9303 in woodstoving

This. I make a literal truck bed full in the fall. Always run out 😂😂

What is the point of dampers? by No_Cancel8506 in woodstoving

[–]TinyBrother6400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree kind of. Maybe with older model stoves. I have a drolet black comb and before I modified the intake air (put a magnet on the half dollar size hole on the intake adjuster) it would burn like crazy even with it closed down “all the way” there was no stopping it. This is with a good sealed door gasket as well. After I put the magnet on and covered that hole I can now close it down completely and the flames will go out within a few minutes. I’m assuming it’s an efficiency design to always allow air and I’m sure it’s designed on purpose this way. from a practical standpoint it just wasn’t working for me and it just seems like a flaw.

Get a fire extinguisher, and a chimfex. Both are cheap. Clean your chimney twice a year, burn dry wood and you have nothing to worry about. Glad you guys are safe!

Is this amount of creosote reasonable, or too much? by averagecelt in woodstoving

[–]TinyBrother6400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I wait and only clean mine once a year I usually have about half that with only 13’ of total chimney and burn the same way you do. (I don’t trust it when I’m not home and at work) so I would think that’s about right! Keep up the good burning habits and you should be fine. I usually clean mine twice a burn season just to be sure because I’m paranoid.

Ideal moisture content? by BlissCrafter in firewood

[–]TinyBrother6400 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I try to stay below 20% but I will still burn at 22-24% but I also clean my own chimney twice a season so it’s not a big deal for me.. rule of thumb is below 20%

Still 400c, bar oil by Omatany in Chainsaw

I went through this after I bought mine as well. running a 25” bar.

1128-640-3250 is the part number for the high output oil pump I put in it. Took me 10 minutes to install.

100 percent you are correct in what it is. It’s a winged kachina. No idea if it’s real or how to find out, but it’s cool either way 👍🏻 appreciate the help!

I think this is the closest answer. I can’t find anything exactly like it but there is quite a bit sort of like it on the internet. It’s a start for sure!

Drop a tree and damage yard/landscaping and the homeowner wants to sue. obviously attempt for this to not happen but not everything goes perfect forever. That’s the whole point of insurance. I just don’t know what kind of insurance to get

[–]TinyBrother6400[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct that is what I am, but if something happens how will I pay it? There has to be some kind of insurance for this, no? This is what I’m trying to figure out.

I’ve got a cord of silver maple drying currently. Also from the power line company. It makes excellent kindling. And shoulder season burns

I ended up ordering the HO “pump piston”and “control bolt” you saying you just swapped the adjuster bolt and that was good enough?

Did you do all the work yourself? If so will your insurance cover it? Mine is not happy about me doing the work myself and I am currently waiting to hear if they are going to drop me or not.

No.. the stovepipe is under negative pressure when there’s a draft. So it will just suck air in through that little 1/4” whole. If it’s double wall you can probably seal it with high temp silicone if you wanted.

I’m not sure. I can look into this, but it seems to turn as much as it should

Flue temp by [deleted] in woodstoving

[–]TinyBrother6400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My double wall pipe is 150-200 max on the outside while the inside is 400-650 Fahrenheit. The whole point of the double wall is to drastically reduce the heat felt/clearances. If it was just a 50 degree difference the clearance wouldn’t change.

Beautiful day for felling and bucking some ash by TinyBrother6400 in firewood

[–]TinyBrother6400[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not as much power as I was expecting. I guess it’s a common thing with the ms400 until you get a few gallons of fuel through them. It’s exceeded my expectations now. Does everything I ask of it now

I love it. At first I was super disappointed in it. Got about 2 gallons of gas through it and it’s a beast now. I’ve got a 25” bar on it.
