I suppose I will have to buy the house in the mountains first.... Then

Just for fun... I snapped a pic of all 3 wood burners...

 

Guest House

 

Shop Stove

 

Main House

 

Then the wood piles...

 

Dry wood... Approx 4 cords left

 

Semi-dry wood about 3 cords

 

Wet unsplit wood about 3 cords.

 

 

 

 

Also this was brought up at the last fire call. (Chimney fire). With a steel box you can spray a short burst of water in a steel box and slam the door shut and the steam will go up the chimney and put out the chimney fire. Do that with a glass door stove you now blow the glass out and have a house fire to boot! So in this case we had to unload the stove into a steel pan because the air damper was broke and defunct on this call. So carrying live fire in a pan outside was very smoky and PITA!

 

With a chimney fire, I'm sure the last thing I would be, you would be (and most home owners) would be worrying about is the glass door on the stove!!!!

 

Just saying, not arguing!!

Now, I dunno if this is something the fire dept. I was with adapted for its efficiency or what; But they just have a plastic baggy full of dry-chem that they will drop down the flue and it apparently works wonders.

 

After that, all they gotta do is just look for fire extension in the attic, etc.

Here is my dream stove!

Had one of those excellent stoves till it cracked around the damper control. Mine was fireplace insert slightly different.

 

Hard to explain that fire call here.
