Crazy facts about the Osage Orange Tree: 1. Native Americans highly prized the wood for making bows. Meriwether Lewis said the Osage Indians, who gave their name to the tree, traveled hundreds of miles to find it. 2. Its wood is the densest of all the trees, which is not surprising since it must support its numerous 3-5" two pound fruit. 3. In the age before barbed wire, the trees were planted ...
Cutting the LEGENDARY Osage Orange Tree for fence post
Переглядів 3,3 тис.4 роки тому
Osage Orange, a tree introduced into Ohio during the 1800s, is commonly seen in rural areas where it is found in fields and fence rows. Its usage as a large hedge tree in a row planting and the softball-sized fruits of female trees give it the alternative common name of Hedge Apple. Country Craig is planning on utilizing this tree to make fence post for the chicken coup!

The Papa Bear is much more efficient than the Grandpa Bear. The 6" stove pipe allows for better control of the temperature. Since the burner weighs approx 480lbs we used a fishing pole as a plumb bob to zero in and connect the pipes.

    You probably didn't show the removal of the barrel revealing what was left of the stump because no-one is interested in that, and not because this is horseshit that doesn't work. Hope you get a good kickback for the power tools sponsorship though.

  • @Technoanima
    @Technoanima 7 місяців тому

    Having watched other stump burns I can see two simple mistakes that others make. 1) they pour the hot coals on the stump not the sides so wasted heat 2) they don't have a lid so not enough heat.

  • @notmethanks816
    @notmethanks816 8 місяців тому

    Insurance won’t be happy with that metal as the only heat shield, especially with wood behind it. Would be better with brick behind and above it. Wouldn’t cost much and be a lot safer.

    • @notmethanks816
      @notmethanks816 8 місяців тому

      It would also be a good idea to have a nice brick underlayment under the stove as well. Have it extend a couple feet in front of the stove. Protects from coals hitting the floor or ash spills.

  • @motovlogunleashed
    @motovlogunleashed 9 місяців тому

    Am I correct or incorrect in my thought process that you don’t need the damper for the flue since it has the knobs on the front? I have this same model but there is no damper in the flue

    • @notmethanks816
      @notmethanks816 8 місяців тому

      You need a damper for windy days. A good strong wind will cause a significant increase in the draw up the chimney. Without a damper the stove can get away on you even with the valves closed all the way. The damper also helps to keep air from rushing up the chimney in summer or mild days when it’s too warm for the stove. Normally during summer we pop the single wall pipe out of the wall and stick a piece of plastic sheeting in the chimney and push the vent pipe back into the hole. This seals the chimney during the summer and prevents loss of conditioned air up the chimney.

    Should not have a flue on an air tight fisher bear wood stove , I had an experience I won’t for get , I got the fire going good and hot then shut the flew down , within about an hour all of a sudden there was a huge explosion inside the stove that would have blown the doors off of lesser stove it blew the smoke out all around the edges of the door past the gasket and a significant amount smoke scared the crap out of me if the flew had of been any higher it would have blown the pipes off of the stove , the reason being is that when the fire started to cool down creisote built up in the stove and the ignited all at once so I remove the flew adjustment no problem since , that being said if I’d have had a glass in the door I would have seen the fire diminishing and opened the draft , but it’s hard to do if asleep , a secondary system would have helped by burning off the creisote , but the old stoves didn’t have it , I was always told don’t use a flew adjustment on an air tight stove now I know why

    • @steverose3318
      @steverose3318 3 місяці тому

      Cleaning the chimney regularly also removes creosote. I set mine up for easy cleaning and it takes maybe 15 minutes to clean it all out. A damper is completely safe and desirable as long as you do your part.

  • @keithkuckler2551
    @keithkuckler2551 Рік тому

    The heat shielding shown is just not adequate for the clearances that we see. Any wood heater must have at least 18 inches to any shielded combustile surface, 36 inches if un shielded. A heat shield must have an air space between the shield and the combustible wall surface, it mus be open at both the top and bottom to allow for air flow to cool the wall. No way that stove can be 12 inches from the wall even with that bad heat shield.

    • @homesteadmike1120
      @homesteadmike1120 Рік тому

      I completely agree. I had a certified stove and chimney company install the stove, but I was never comfortable with the clearance issues. I have since added a proper shield to the walls, and now, sleep much easier at night! Haha

    In addition, if you've got a massive rock you need to get rid of, dig a trench around the rock about six inches deep, fill the trench with burning charcoal and put a layer on top of the rock. Come back in 8 hours with a sledge hammer and your rock will shatter with each whack. This works with seasoned wood also, but you have to keep adding more as it burns up.

    Embarrassingly dull chainsaw Why not just start a good wood fire in there? Cut that stump down low and use some of that for firewood. Instead of blowing all your briquettes etc... You can drill 1 inch holes into the stump too, and fill them with kerosene or something, just don't drill right through or the coal oil will drain right through. Fires can smoulder even under the snow. They are called holdovers. If you are worried about that, hose down a perimeter really good to keep those roots damp. Monitor things as per your fire permit. You don't want the water bombers to attack during your BBQ party🔥😵‍💫💦😃
