And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If you got to run the stove that hard to stay warm the stove pipe needs to be redesigned. It needs to wrap around the room before it exits.
I have a friend that has a cabin in Alaska. He has an 80 gallon water tank that has a thermostat hooked up to a low flow pump to copper tubing that is wrapped around the stove pipe dumping back into the tank. When the water is at temperature the vents and dampers are set to almost full close on the stove. With a good coal base and full of wood it would last about 11 hours before it needed more wood.
with decent supply, I could prop my lilly white ass up in there for a few months, no prob

That's totally worth the effort it took to build
DeleteChimney fire?
ReplyDeleteThose sparks coming out of the chimney are no doubt from them burning cedar wood. You get a LOT of glowing sparks ejected from burning cedar!
