Let's Ask Kathy 😄

Never had a fire place! I have two!

In your house?

In your house?

Yep, two inside and one outside.

(not everyone owns a log spliter, just saying.

I have spent my time swinging a maul.
All I have is oak. Decided after first half cord of oak wood, that my time behind a maul was done.
Best 950 bucks I’ve ever spent.

Wood burning stoves are much more efficient than a fireplace. I switched to a pellet stove a long time ago.

This pellets stuff....
I saw something. Hold. BRB with a picture.

A quick Google shows a bundle of grocery store type wood available for $15. The size of this bundle is 0.6 cu. ft. There are 128 cu. ft. in a cord of firewood. You can have a cord of firewood delivered in the Houston area for $400.00. The price you are paying for firewood at $15 for 0.6 cu. ft. is $3,200.00 per cord.

Yah, what he said!

Green pine, right?

Wetter the better!

 

[Kiki]

This kind of pellets?

 

[MarkJr]

Pellet stoves are nice. Not quite the same heat, but are much easier to keep an even temperature!

Sort of. Those are food grade, hardwood. Heating pellets are typically sawdust from softwoods (pine, fir, etc) and can have some impurities in them that you don’t want on food.
