Feeling the Heat
Yes sir!Just keep buying and keep quiet
Yes sir!Just keep buying and keep quiet
Dont mean to insult anybody,I just dont understand why someone would brag about having to pay a company to provide my heat. Oh,and my labor isnt free since it doesnt cost me a dime to stay warm all winter. Maybe when I get old my perspective will change.Nah.
Gotcha! That's what I thought I read a while ago....3 or more tons by first frost.
Now there is a lot of leeway granted by that first frost requirement.
You know things like, first fall frost, first winter frost, first November frost, first spring frost, etc ...
You have to apply, provide evidence of meeting the requirements and why we should let you into the group, we want only true oinkers so we want to know all about what piggishness traits you have (things like rolling around in pellet piles while planing a raid on another's stash, methods of spreading the pellet word, good deeds done for your fellow pigs, and so forth).
Furthermore, he DID have them before the first frost. Look at the pics and look at the grass. Nice lush green grass and beautifully folliated trees. Looks like his delivery was sometime circa June/July there in Lawn-Guyland!Not trying to rain on anyone's parade or piss in there Cheerios, but I thought the criteria for being a pellet pig was that you needed to have your stash (4 tons or more) before the first frost? But then again I'm new here so what do I know.
By the way Kykel, very nice stash!

This pretty much sums up a few of the reasons why I don't have any desire to harvest my own cord wood so that I can say that I heat my house for free.

Few other reasons:
1. I have both a wood stove and a pellet stove. I enjoy the operating convenience of the pellet stove much more. The wood stove takes longer to get going (starting the fire & controling dampers vs. thermostat on the pellet stove so I don't have to even think about it if I don't want to.)
2. I have to pay attention to the wood stove much more during the day. Watch temps, damper positions, reloading. With the pellet stove all I really need to do is load up the hopper once every during the coldest days and less than that during the shoulder months.
3. For pellets, I make one phone call each year and pellets show up on neatly stacked and wrapped pallets in my garage exactly where I want them and then all I have to do is just open the bag and dump the pellets into the stove.
Its Fixed
The Grand Poobah will not be happy He will be very ashaimed of you
Was written that way for a reason. Your either a Pig! Or your not..........
the time I spend loading and tending to the wood eater for 3 loads in 24 hrs, is way more time than I spend filling my hopper and doing a quick clean once a week.
Plus, the automation and constant temp. My woodstove needs tending at least twice a day and that leads to big temp swings. The pellet stove may get loaded once a day (depends on outside temp) and keeps the house a steady temp all day
Exactly ! Theres trees all around us, If your capable of doing something yourself why rely on someone else to do it for you ? Oh wait I know? Its far easier to sit on my dead ass watching the tube stuffing my face with Doritos and making a phonecall . Hey look at me im awesome I can make a phonecall and have someone else to the work so let me go on line and brag!. Gimme a break.More true words have never been said, Nothing more difficult than finding a tree...Wait a second, I just looked out the window and glory be, must be a thousand trees! Just saying! As far as life goes, if scrounging, cutting, splitting and stacking firewood is an accomplishment, I feel you need to set your sights a teeny bit higher.

Busch Light ! Now it all makes sense.Hmmmm....Is it that time of the month again Scols, Or did you just muster up some internet muscles to try and make up for your obvious lack of Testosterone?? Ugggh Look at me, I cut wood, chew nails and drink gasoline (I am Scols)...When in reality you are just trying to make up for the fact that you were born without a weiner??
All this being said, I am not much of a fan of Dorito's, but a big bag of Barbeque kettle chips, ice cold Busch Light and a Steeler's game will get my fat ass on the couch everytime!
Most places with trees belong to other people and if you get caught cutting them you are in deep pucky but tell us Scols how do you harvest your trees?
Do you replant them as well? How do you get the wood to your house, did you build that as well?
What does building a house or a saw have to do with anything? Your logic defies logic. As far as obtaining wood goes, I get state and county permits to cut dead trees on park land, and I find that many private property owners are happy to let you cut dead trees on their property,especially if you give them some splits for their own use. And no I dont own a splitter, I use a fiskars or sledge and wedge and an old 18" husky. Now im going to leave this estrogen fest to you guys,keep patting yourselves on the back for using a credit card.God help AmericaBuck saws too I'll wager.
I know where there are a number of nice big saws but Scols is going to need someone to help him use them (they ain't got any motors attached either).
Oh and Scols did you make your own saws?
