Excellent advice here. I'd just like to add to be watchful when backing up and turning one way or the other. I 'may' have donked a tree or two before with the bucket (and it's possible a vehicle too.)

Thanks everyone!

Alrighty group, I've been telling my wife that if there's a group that will point me in the right direction, it's always this one. Our 19 year old son enjoys smoking meats. He even found plans online for one, made from a 55-gallon drum. He made some darn good stuff this past summer in the...

Thanks OLD GAR!

It was very tasty!

Got about a foot in past 24 hours. Here in Erie County, PA we call this a "dusting."

Alright, so my brother and I are trying to find a recipe for what our Grandmother called a "Swedish Kettle." (It may also be known as Swedish Christmas Kettle.) Sadly no one thought to write it down before her passing and our Mother's as well. We had it every Christmas Eve. It was a pot of...

Still have satellite, DishNetwork to be exact. We are working on 6 months without our local Fox affiliate, because of some dispute between Dish & the owner of our Fox affiliate. Dish says it's the fault of NextStar Media (who owns the Fox affiliate), of course NextStar blames Fox. Bottom line...

I did miss that. Will check!

Thanks everyone. Nothing blocking the stack. I have easy access to it out a second story window, onto the roof of an addition where the stack is...the brush goes down thru with no issues so I'm certain there's no obstruction. Wood is, as my father in law would say, as dry as a popcorn fart...

Hi everyone. I've had a QuadraFire 3100 wood stove for about 10 years. One of the best investments we've ever made...nothing better than getting up early on a cold Saturday morning, lighting a fire while sitting in the dark room watching it burn and the day begin. For whatever reason, a fire...
