In one of the 1960s Erle Stanley Gardner Baja books, he goes into this subject and showed how shooting some holes through the metal stove pipe/ chimney above the camp oven solved the problem.

The Mr. Heater big buddy heater is advertised as being safe indoors, however in the fine print it says room must have a small opening to outside air for ventilation.

get any of the positions wrong and you will have smoke

I need to improve on it a bit. My lungs are wrecked. I'm still coughing up soot.
I got to get away from combustable fuel heat.
Solar and electric has got to work for me. And the infloor system.
That I like best. My builder has installed one or at least understood.
The floor was cold.
Off-grid clean heat is what I need.
Wood is a real pain.

Hold the manzanita?


I cut it yesterday, 18 inch lengths! Oh well, my rig doesn't have room for very much, and might have caused me problems at secondary anyway.



If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

That is amazing wood!
I'd love it but please don't bring it on my account.
Unless you need a cold beverage or two... them come on over... I'd alert the dog your coming...but...
Just stay in the car and his mom will let you in...
