LOL...I wondered if anyone would ask. It's the catalytic converter in my wood stove. Stove has a bypass. Smokes/works like a normal stove until you get the stove to temp...then flip the bypass....and that forces everything through the cat.....which then super heats and reburns all the crap. I have 3 of these stoves...house..garage (contest!) and in my dome greenhouse. 85% efficient. Super low carbon/emissions. When it gets cold out....like the 0F mornings we get Mid-Winter... you might see this on the top of the flue pipe/cap. All that's really coming out is steam...aka....whatever is left as moisture in the wood that gets burned off. Crazy shit. Best fuckin stoves I've ever ran...... (Blaze King) They will burn over 24 hours on a nice, fat load of wood...
Put em in in 2015... cost me 10K for 3 of em..installed...but I've paid for em all already....cus I save 200-300 a month jon the house alone. Couldn't afford to heat the garage or GH without em. And with 7 acres of trees/downed shit...it's down to gettin off yer ass and going out and cutting/collecting wood or paying the Man. We get high AF and go collect wood. LOL.

Forgot to add...these stoves have controllable damper/airflow system...you just turn the dial up or down for more or less fire/heat/longer burns/etc. When we get it cranking and turn it down for the night...there's no flame....just maybe a glow. The glass on the door gets black after a bit...cus with a small house...we don't even get close to tapping the full heating potential of this stove. In a bigger home...you'd burn hotter...possibly hot enough to have a flame...and the glass would stay cleaner. You'd also burn more wood. For my house...burning continuously from Mid-Oct to Mid May....I use 2 cords of wood or less...depending on the wickedness of the season. At current inflated prices...if you bought wood...it would cost you 600-700 for 2 cords...delivered...to heat for an entire winter. Anybody else burnin wood for heat?

I'm taking a break until I get back lol. But when I do grow, I try to set it up so I can leave 10 days at a time. For the last couple years my growing has been pretty hands off. I just topdress and Auto water that's why my plants look like crap sometimes haha.Dude......where do you find time to grow....

Different climate...different % of Federal land ownership/different economy of scale/etc. Here in CO the Feds own 36% of the state. In Ohio...1.2%. A whole bunch of this state isn't treed. All of that stuff cuts into supply...and you have to have a permit/go to designated areas to cut firewood here unless it's on Private Property. It can be a long ways up/into the hills to where you can cut. Time spent. Time. Time. Time. Anyone working/cutting/splitting wood here hourly for a job is making $20+ per hour min. (if they can find anyone to work...which seems to be a challenge)
Even at $200 a cord they aren't making much money....and fuck me...is that ever hard work.
