Wow thanks for the tip. Will contact them tonight. WIll be good to have that cut and split over the winter to dry for a year or two.
MIke beware of this stove,i had the very same stove as my first woodstove. it almost caused me to give up the idea for good.This is the woodburner I obtained from my uncle. It is brand new. It is a U.S. Stove Company 2007B.
I uploaded a pdf of the layout that i came up with so far to get approved. I may extend the base a bit..
Not to worry,you can always use it as a supplement. One way is to do your burn get your house up top say 77-80 and if you place has any heat retention at all it can take quite a few hours to get back down to say 70. I do that in order to burn only 1 load a day in my harman instead of 2 ,1 load overnight and the house is good until the following evening unless its really cold and cloudy outside. And my house is only about 70 % insulated.not what i wanted to hear. Being that it was free, I will make due for now. I will be using it as a suplement heat source as well as my oil furnace. Definetly not good to hear and kind of bums, me out, but thanks for the heads up. Looks like I will need a bit more wood.
Looks like i will be setting an alarm and stocking it as well. I don't have the funds to get any upgraded stuff right now, but will look to do so in the future.

...and then the buyer will come here to ask about his new stove. We are caught in a loop!Probably could unload that US Stove on CL for a couple hundy real quick.

Welcome, StihlMike! You're right up the road a short ways from me......I'm north of Altoona! Welcome to the nuthouse, as we like to say!
Lots of advice to be given to a beginner, but Sav touched on some of that in his post already. Big thing is the sooner you get your wood cut, split and stacked (C/S/S, as we say), the better. Lots of us are over 3 or 4 years ahead on our wood supply.....it makes a HUGE difference when your burned seasoned wood...
Anyway, you'll learn a lot here, so enjoy your new addiction to woodburning!
Hi Mike welcome to the forum. I'm from Lilly too! Small world. Send me a message if you need anything, I'd be happy to lend a hand where I can.

Get within 3-4 hours of me and I'd be very likely to show up. I'm less than an hour from the NY/PA line on I84.
You were within 15 minutes of me. Thought my spidey senses were tingling that day....We just passed through your area on Saturday. We vacationed in New Hampshire last week, travelled out via I84 through Connecticut (ugh) and returned Saturday via the Mass Turnpike (ugh) and visited a friend south of Albany for dinner, then took 87 South to 84, then back to route 80.
We had a nice but brief visit at Woodstock last Thursday morning. Figured if I was in NH I had to stop.
Hello all. Just got my woodburner, and will be installing in the near future. Purchased a new STIHL saw as well. This is my rookie year and may need to rely on purchasing some wood for the winter. I hope to get a few chord cut but it is tough when my wood truck is a Dodge neon. Hope you enjoy these few pictures.
I will upload a few pictures of my install as well. I have everything drawn up in autocad and awaiting approval from my insurance company.
Any tips for a rookie will be appreciated.
4) When you finally get a wood hauler, get a 3/4 ton or 1 ton. People who buy 1/2 tons as wood haulers are communists.
