Welcome to the Forestry Forum. We appreciate you reading the rules. We really do. Truly, an honest "thank you".

So which is it, indoor or outdoor stove?

oregon_grown, welcome. Tell us about the stearman in your avatar. Looks like 450. There's a few aviator types on here. EAA ?

I would be one of the aviator types. If you know what a Spartan 7W "Executive" is, that is my favorite airplane. (Also a 450)

Also a refugee. I've been reading this forum for a couple weeks and decided to join today. Eastern Washington in the middle of the Palouse. Retired AF (Russian linguist 21 years), retired police dispatch and jailer (15 years). Cutting firewood and general chainsaw use was my hobby. This season pretty well ends it. I have over 80 cord Black Locust in the stacks now and that plus pooping around cutting willow for shoulder season should last what time I have left.

welcome to the new refugees from the arborist! Glad you found us over here. Oregon-grown, I am Oregon -Born but then I got restless I guess. Wish I was back there quite often.

Ok.. the Stearman is one of many of my paintings for my husband who used to fly these puppies when he was a kid. It's a 450 cropduster and probably one of my favorite paintings. Since he has had a very diverse career life, we have what we call the wall of Bob's life work. I joined the arborist site back in 2009 because I got my own firewood and had an interest in that. We have a tiny, I mean tiny wood stove (inside) that keeps this little 1300 sq ft home very toasty. In fact it will run you out if you dont watch the house temperature. I had quit going to the Arborist site for the most part because I found some of the posts offensive. I enjoy the great information and good humored bantering around, but not so much into naked pictures of woman or name calling. Just not my thing and frankly, it takes away from why the forum even exists. I own my own Stihl 250 and 171. Anything bigger is to heavy for my 5 foot frame. Bob likes to steal my 171 because it's very light and handy for a lot of things. I have never taken a tree down, but I have helped limb many. I love the smell of freshly cut wood and if I am lucky, Bob will make me some cedar noodles for the house. I grew up in Sweet Home Oregon, was one of 7 kids of a logging family. I watch Axmen and those names Rygaard and Brown I remember as a kid. I was my fathers tool gal when I was 14 and spent many hours, running to get him tools as he worked on either the car or his log truck. My father a logger all his life, worked his language edited by admin off to provide for us and rarely made any headway in putting away for the future. I guess that is it. I am happy to be here among smart folks!
