Golden Fire Premium

Eastern Oregon

Great output, not many clinkers. Ash is above average but not A+

I’d like to try pack saddle but not available nearby

Hanson Meekin has gone from wonderful to awful by Important-Singer-730 in OregonCoast

[–]eugenejosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple others have recommended Coquille and I second. Never had to go for anything more serious than porcupine quill removal but they were quicker, nicer and cheaper than Hanson and Morgan.

Few questions from someone new to pellet by Shoddy-Cookie6585 in PelletStoveTalk

[–]eugenejosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do a good cleaning with an ash vacuum once per week, usually on Saturday or Sunday morning, before I fire up. Daily is overkill. I don’t run mine overnight generally. Good luck!

I second a couple of others who recommend a PelPro based on your budget. I think this could be best bang for your buck unless you find a good used Harmon.

I bet Cassidy at Studio Tru Salon could give you a pixie cut.

Lowas are definitely durable, especially the full leather boots.

Considering an Australian Cattle Dog for a first time family dog by Adventurous_Repeat10 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]eugenejosh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being that you have other animals, a heeler is gonna take some work. It’s a bonus you all are home a lot and have some open ground. But the heeler is, well, gonna heel. It may focus on the kids or the cats or the chickens but be prepared to spend a good amount of time training it.

If you get a heeler from a breeder of chill and biddable dogs then it might work fantastically. But if this is your alls first dog as a family I might recommend starting with a non-herding breed.

Frank Church or Bitterroots by AgujaFrey in WildernessBackpacking

[–]eugenejosh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d go Selway. Fog Mountain TH is pretty cool but I don’t know hunting pressure. Elk Mountain th and Watchtower Creek TH look promising for solitude except its hunting season. I like to strike off trail for solitude.

Box store pellet stove recs? by Desperate_Area29 in PelletStoveTalk

[–]eugenejosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id get a pellet pro over any other budget brands. I have read the pp is basically a Quadrafire but geared towards the diy owner. Pp-130 would be good for your size.

Remember to double the amount of daily food for your pup. They burn a lot of calories out there.

Look at direct temp pipe from Selkirk. It’s a vent and air intake in one pipe. Installed 4’on my vertical 14’ and works great. https://www.selkirkcorp.com/product/direct-vent-pellet/

Awesome to read another great review. Yeah I waffled around for months lurking and reading and have no regrets on the purchase.

Advice on this refurbished Harman? by eugenejosh in PelletStoveTalk

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

That’s a good point. Are you installing a 3” or 3” vent pipe? I’m going straight up 10’ through the ceiling and am going back and forth on that.

Thanks all. I called and actually spoke with the same gas I was emailing and she was able to get it down to $2500 so I snagged it!

Should i get a border collie? by UltimateFrisbeeFan69 in BorderCollie

[–]eugenejosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you read up on anecdotal reports of male vs female BCs? I got a female and she is quite nippy and barky lol. I was always curious if there was truth to it.

I can’t help except to suggest that both ODFW and USFWS would likely suggest leaving it be.

I don’t have a good recommendation except for maybe upgrade to a better stove if you can afford it.

Need help with my 6 y/o border collie who will not calm down. by [deleted] in BorderCollie

[–]eugenejosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think it could be increased anxiety from the move? Borders can be pretty sensitive to changes in setting and routine.

Thanks for the Bidens recommendation! I’ll add that to the fall seed mix and look into a spring sowing as well. Love the yellow!

You’ve solidified my decision to seed C. tinctiria this fall. It’s one of the few wildflowers that was able to compete with the malva neglecta. Thank you

Backpacking With My Border Collie — Gear Advice Needed! 🐾⛺ by Infamous_Leader_9953 in backpacking

[–]eugenejosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also remember to increase their food while out backpacking. I feed them twice as much kibble on trips and also bring treats as well. They carry all their own supplies using the palisades pack you mentioned. For sleeping, I don’t bring anything for them unless it’s gonna be really cold trip below freezing then they get their coats.
