I load mine twice a day. Once before I leave for work, and once as soon as I get home from work.

Good morning @MoBilly, good morning OGâs. Iâve been getting my wood split and stacked up for winter in the barn. My friend has a splitter on the back of his tractor. He spends time splitting for some customers but he gives me mine. I give him clones and plants for his weed stash. Itâs a good trade off for me and him.

I know @Oldjoints ! My buddy has one the also heats the water for his place. Itâs amazing! The dang thing will take 4â x 10" logs! He has a log loader on wheels to feed it. Itâs like a hydraulic engine hoist with a quick release for after the log is rolled in and positioned. The water heater is, probably, 60 gal give or take.
But the dang thing cost a crap ton of cash.
Well, time to make the doughnutsâŠ
Be back afterwards.

This is a good one:
The price not so much, but far cheaper than others I have seen.

My outdoor stove is a Hardy. My in-laws sold their home and relocated several years ago.
The guy that bought their old place never used the outside stove because he was too lazy to mess with it.
The next year, I asked him if he would be interested in selling it. The answer was yes, and when I asked how much, he said $100.00.
Needless to say, I loaded it on a trailer, and hauled it to the house.

Hardy is a fairly good stove, you stole that thing!
Is it similar to this model?

Heck yeah, I did, and I am proud of it, too, lol.
The guy had no idea what it was worth, and I wasnât about to tell him.

Yep, thatâs the same wood burner.

Your best bet is to get a good used burner. You can find some pretty good deals out there because folks move out and new owners donât want to deal with wood or people get old and can no longer handle the labor.
Here is just an example:

Good morning @percyryan66 ! 
Something like that might be possible next year ~ @Oldjoints . But there are more pressing matters to put funds toward ATM.
I might even price the metal to build one⊠My brother is an excellent welder. Thatâs something to consider.

It funny how you can get things so cheap, when people are too lazy to do a little labor. Iâm no genius but I can work on things like I have since I was a young man. I bought a leaf vac off someone for $75 bucks, it needed a new gasket to stop the oil leak lol maybe $5 bucks to fix and they go for about a grand or more.

Good morning @Greenfingers !
Yeah. Iâve run across that myself. Around here we get everything we can out out of what we have and then repurpose what we can after whatever it is finally shells out. lol
Poverty is a good incentive to be creative.

Itâs like a 5â man being vertically challenged instead of âshortâ. 
Sounds better but it still means the same. lol

My dad was a short man. That was his joke. âIâm not short, Iâm vertically challengedâ. lol
I like to keep his old jokes going. My kids have even been known to use one or two.
