HRH Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Wood stoves are only partially because of the carbon footprint. The big thing is burning your house down because morons don't know how to operate a wood stove. Lots of houses have burned down due to unattended wood stoves, leaving the stove door open, etc. Sparks igniting the carpet when loading wood. Which is why you should have a cement or brick patio around your wood stove. It's common sense, but that left us long ago. 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Carbon foot print buddy, that's what it's all about. You're not allowed to have wood stoves in some places because of the carbon footprint? That seems backwards... Natural gas as a heat source burns "cleaner" allegedly Wood is a renewable resource. You burn it, the carbon dioxide is used by trees to grow more wood and you burn it again. Your net amount of carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere is ZERO. Recycling carbon. If you use oil or natural gas you are taking it out of the ground and adding to the atmosphere. It doesn't magically get back into the ground. Only way to not do this is wood, solar (yeah that will work) hydro, nuclear, wind, thermal. 2 Quote Link to comment
fritzdixxon Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 So for topics sake we need a solar panel to run the pump for the hot tub and a wood fired water heater for the hotub...........and marshmallows. 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Totally agree Mike, wood is the most sustainable resource. 1 Quote Link to comment
Rick-rat Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I thought this was a thread about Canby, are they going to allow fires this year? Is that why the discussion is on fuel to use there? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 How else we gonna heat the hot tub? Use the single electrical outlet by the outhouses? 1 Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Yeah, it already has a water hookup, lol. Quote Link to comment

I grew up in a house that was primarily heard by a wood stove. It was my job to stock the fire before I went to school and rebuild it after school. In grade school. Even a child can build a fire. Well a nonidiotic one And I think the creosol buildup in the chimeny is the biggest danger with prolonged use of a wood stove 1 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Wait this the Canby Thread? I thought it was randomness Quote Link to comment

Mattndew76 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 My neighbor had a wood stove hot tub. Genius this guy was. First time I had ever seen a rocket stove with copper induction lines for the tub. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 ^That's badass! I'll bet we could build something like that at Canby. Perhaps that should be the challenge this year? Smuggle in a big tub. Build a pulse-jet heater at Canby out of spare Datsun parts, hook said pulse jet to copper tubes, circulate water with a drill pump, BOOM!! Hot tub for many!! :D 1 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Build a Dat-tub for Canby 2016 :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Ewww tub soaking is a bit personal don't ya think? Just plastic line a 620 bed, fill up and run a flex pipe from the exhaust pipe through it. Drive around for a hour to warm it. 2 Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 You know, I'll have the 280zx shell. It would tow pretty well. I'll bet I could pour fiberglass that interior to make a hot tub. Run the heater in the front. Hmmmmm. Just cut off the roof and hatch? 1 Quote Link to comment

Steve Pepka DNW president Hi Steve and welcome to Ratsun, first and foremost congratulations on becoming the president of DNW!, I heard good things about you and I'm looking forward to seeing it play out, your dime is beautiful and I can't wait to see it in person and meeting you :thumbup: One issue that strikes me is the meeting date and time of DNW, most people agree it is difficult to attend to, me in particular have 0% chance of ever attending one and it's the only reason as to why I haven't become a member yet.....any chance it can be made into a day and time of the week where it can give others like myself to be able to part take on said meetings? Thank you, Sir. Diego. Quote Link to comment
