gaining more hay
my great aunt and me would cut brush around pasture field and every year it would take my uncle a hour or more longer to cut the pasture fields
all using a axe and bow saw

Doesn't look very wintery there either Boss.

Was nearly 70° here today....just lovely weather.

Hard for me to comprehend how you can have snow and ice one day and then only a few days later be 20C. I mean its not much hotter here right now (27C).

Mmmm swine!!!!

Blue Shoat perhaps...

Here's some pics from the evaporator I've been building the last couple days. The grey backfill behind the bricks is wood ash.

And the finished product



Winter is on it's way out and mud season has begun


Had a helper for tapping trees today

Was struggling to get above 10°f here just a week ago. It was 47°f here today at lunch.

So for the dummies in the room (me), why the labyrinth for the smoke path to the chimney Brad @Woodpecker ?

Death to me

The idea is to force the flame up to the pan at the back of the stove. No idea if it will work or not yet as the side exit for the chimney isn't ideal. Pretty similar concept as having flu pans in a commercial syrup evaporator. I had trouble sourcing a 6" flange that was flat and not flimsy or ridiculously priced. The one that came with the barrel stove kit is curved and meant to go on the top side of the barrel. As you can see there is no room for that with the pan.

Yeah....he ain't gonna keep it.

Huge temperature swings are very common here in Tennessee.

Could you not get an adjustable elbow and make it a 45° turn? I seem to remember those being available. That would have made the flange closer to the top.

But I think it will draw fine where it is.

It's as close as I could get it for clearance to the pan. I think it will draw fine too. When I sat down to figure the basic physics it checked out, but cypherin' was never my strong suit. I can always add more stack height if I need too.

Quit complaining
