Ken and I started work on stacking the firewood that was delivered on Friday. The pile (if shaped a little differently) is almost as big as the car. I think we got almost half of it done before we quit. I'll be back out there this morning. Ken might be out there, too, unless he's busy making lunch. Pictures of the stacked wood to come.
Now we have a wood stove issue to deal with. The front grill that holds burning logs back from the stove's glass door broke in two a few days ago. It's been deformed by eighteen years of use, but I never imagined it would break. It's made of cast iron, after all. We're trying to get in touch with the company that installed the stove in 2006, but they seem to be busy at the moment. And we're in the middle of a holiday weekend. Ken will likely call next week to get an appointment. We need to figure out if there's a grill replacement or fix available. If not, we may have to considering replacing the stove. Ka-ching!
Hi, I know you’ve just bought a load of logs, and I hope you get your stove fixed, but you might like to think about a pellet stove if you have to get a new one. We replaced our wood stove with a pellet stove a couple of years ago and we love it. Much easier to manage and the price of pellets is down this year. I estimate that it certainly costs no more than logs.
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, how do you deal with pellet storage? How much do you order at a time? Are pellets sold by weight or by volume (stères)?
DeleteHi Ken, I’ll email you.
DeleteI hope the stove is fixable. That's some good looking wood.
ReplyDeleteDang, ka-ching is right... I hope you can get it repaired!
