Zulch - It's actually funny you mentioned Radiant heat. Before the Pandemic shut the state down in 2020 I was building Radiant Floor heating systems. Got laid off for a bit, then let go all together cause they're just wasn't enough work for 4 of us. Kicked around doing odd jobs till I hit upon the stove thing and haven't looked back.
Len - Thanks! It's very satisfying work. I was even able to rescue a circa 1912 Glenwood Oak parlor stove that was destined for the metal dumpster. It's in my shed, as I'm gathering part to restore it to It's former glory. Thing's MASSIVE too. Stands about 5'5" and takes a 26" log.
We still cut, split and stack for my parents, my wife's grandparents and lug pellets for various family members. My grandfather used to say that firewood warms you 3 times. Once when you split it, twice when you stack it and thrice when you burn it.
