save yourself time and money. Get a good stove. Nothing worse than a stove that is not effecient. I really like the one I have. I fill it at bed time (feed the dragon) and again the next night at bed time. Unless we are having a lot of sub 32. Also what ya burn for wood makes a huge difference.

Growing up we had a fantastic double-barrel burner. Heated a 3000+ sq/ft home.....sometimes too hot. And that was up in the Methow. It got cold.

Yes the old barrel stoves are nice but most are not very effecient. Mine has a catalytic burner and is rated 85%.

My dad had built it from some design from a magazine. We used around 8-10 cord a year. It sure kept the house warm.

Tell DH he needs to learn about "SHE" wood and "HE" wood. Also the exercise in cutting wood keeps one in better condition.

You are 100% correct.

Well of course I am

Depending on the weather I will burn 4-5 cord.

4-HMOM, next spring I will have to have you help me get in touch with a good breeder for a black orp trio to mix and match with the lav orps I got from you.

I don't want to see it but can you give a brief overview of what they found? Unsanitary living conditions? Clipped beaks? Overcrowding?

Yes ALL three things you mentioned. They were burning their beaks off with out giving them any kind of pain killer first, leaving unwanted live chickens in plastic bags to die. throwing birds into cages OVERCROWDING was the worse thing. One guy had a rope around a chickens feet and he was swinging it over his head like a helicopter just for fun.
The manager of the place said it involved only Four men and they have been Fired !

But how much of this go's on in other places like this????????? There are alot of SICK people in this world!

Aha! Another Corgi owner. And with the same traits too. Mine just doesn't want to be left out of anything. She is named Shadow, because it's what she does. She's like glue! Mine is 13 going on puppy
