I am putting in a wood stove as well. I got lucky and found one I am getting for almost free. New, they can be pretty pricey.

Steve, if you get a wood stove dont plan on using any of the wood from the trees you want to clear this year. The wood needs to sit awhile and dry out otherwise it burns poorly and causes significant buildup in your chimney and can cause chimney fires.

 

This sounds like a fun and dangerous weekend event.

Steve's "Chainsaws and Beer" weekend. "I bring the beer, you bring the bandages!"

 

Just so you know Steve the wood you cut down this year will be very smoky because its so green. You'll need to cut it down, split it, stack it properly, cover it with a trap but not completely just the top and about a foot or two down on each side and then let it dry outside for at least a good year. The greener the wood the smokier it will burn (if it will burn at all)

Yeah and don't forget to have someone check out the chimney.

OH and make sure you open the vent otherwise you'll fill your house with smoke

 

i want in on this too sounds like fun as long as no one hurts them selves.
