Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Your Wood Burner?

The firewood thread has me wondering about the stoves, and chimneys you folks use?

At our humble north place, we have a Driolet, with a stainless double wall insulated chimney.

Fisher Mama Bear. Double flue chimney. One side for the stove and the other side for a fireplace.

Fisher made some nice stoves, mama bear is a sweet stove.

I have a old Quadra-Fire fire place insert! Love it!

I have the Jotul Oslo. This is a beautiful wood stove. We have lots, and lots of firewood. We run the Oslo quite a bit.

Bought it from a friend's dad ~25yrs ago for $200. It was only 2yrs old then. Fancy model with the chrome balls on the feet and painted spruce tree pattern on the front. It would take a major catastrophe to wreck it.

I've got an old earth stove with double wall stainless chimney. Love the auto dampener feature on the earth stove.

Had this Fisher in Idaho,



replaced it with this Jotul,



but also use this Monarch when cooking.



Use this Quadrafire here in Texas.

got lazy........just yanked out the coal/wood stove in basement

worked well......just too much mess & fuss to keep it going...sold it

Will be installing a NG stove next week or so.....had to build hearth & cover wall behind with rock

NG is soo cheap here......have gas for..hot water.....furnace...dryer...BBQ...firepit & 1500 sq ft garage

Garage is a radiant tube type heater......steel framed garage & well insulated......

equal payment @ $63 month.....no brainer for me......

Can't blame you there. If I had to buy my wood I'd just use my propane back up full time.

Here is ours.

That Oslo is one bad ass stove!, I ran that stove in my camp in the Adirondacks, old log cabin built in 1880 I never had a cold night :-) in my house in PA I run a F 600, firelight in my basement, And I just put in last year a insert in my fireplace, jotul 550, Should’ve put one in earlier, what is the difference. I also have a F 400 that I run upstairs in my bedroom/bonus room, but way too much stove, taking it out after putting the insert in the fireplace.

Ours is made by Lopi. American made. It is steel. Heats up fast...and cools down fast too. It has two flat surfaces on top. The upper one is great for keeping things warm. The lower one is good enough to cook on in a pinch.

Got a Sears box stove that came from my grandpa's place in the '70s. Must be way older than that. Currently using it in my barn.
Got a nice little pot belly coal burner that we used to heat the canvas elk hunting tent. We have since replaced it with a more modern flat top barrel stove.

Osburn M2400...

My BIL removed a nearly new Fisher when he remodeled his house and gave it to me. I'll be using it to heat my shop, but not with wood. Fill the firebox with cast iron- - - -old brake rotors, cylinder heads, etc. and run a waste oil drip once I get the burn going with Kerosene-soaked newspaper. I generate lots of waste oil with the vehicles around the farm, and I've got a couple of sources of giveaway motor oil and cooking oil from nearby businesses. Free heat, and I don't have to cut and split the fuel! Once the cast iron gets hot, it radiates heat for hours.

Buck stove model 91.

I use a Big Buck insert that I had buck modify for my fireplace . 3 speed fan and triple wall stainless flu that I had built to fit the buck. My house is one level, 5500 sq ft. Ceiling fans help circulate warm air throughout the central part of the house. Bedrooms on both ends remain cool if people keep the doors closed. I burn 4 to 6 cords of oak and hickory per year. Have used this buck stove for 31 years. I like fooling with wood.

That's the stove I'm going to buy. That or another similar Jotul.

I have a soapstone woodstove in the office. Heavy sucker. Took me a while to learn how to run it. No draft control, just the chimney damper. You get that stove heated up and it will run you out of that end of the house if you aren't careful. But my wife doesn't like to mess with building a fire etc. so it doesn't get used much.

We have a quadrafire pellet stove in the family room. Absolutely love it. So much so, the wife has decided she wants the woodstove replaced with another quadrafire. Just bought a used qf pellet stove from a lady and now have to go get it and do the swap.
