Java does a Cabin

[Squamch]

That's why pellet stoves suck. All the inconvenience of a wood stove, and electric heat combined!

Here's hoping you can get a proper woodstove for next season!

Meh they work well when you want constant low heat.....

I don't really want a stack for a stove.... It got ripped off once.

so build one outta blocks instead

Off the ground and thru the roof.....

It seems to be a common issue getting ripped off around here.

I keep forgetting, you the guy with the treehouse thing going on?
if so, then just brace the fuck outta a normal class A pipe

and have it penetrate the roof near the peak rather than down where it'll have a bunch of snow hitting it at speed
reduces the necessary stickout, too

Unless you want that heat when the power is out.

Yes tree house.

Running pipe to peak. Is a pain, have loft for 2nd story.

Yes or start gen set. Getting smoked out because power suddenly goes out Is the worst part.

run cheap single wall pipe as far as you can, sounds like you can do two floors worth if there's a good straight shot, then switch to class A where it pokes through
plop the stove directly under where the flue's gonna poke through

 

[Oldguy78]

No experience with them but don't they make gravity fed pellet stoves, no power required?

It's a single pitch roof. I can get maybe 8' of single wall, then it would have to run at a 22 degree angle inside a bay to get to the high side.

They do, need vertical flue, and don't spread the heat as well as one with a fan.

then you gotta put your stove in a better spot

Not a lot of options in 200sf... It's done at this point

Or extend it higher outside. It doesn’t have to exit at the peak

 

[tracyb]

easy enough to make one that wont get ripped of. helped with allot of wood a diesel stove on boats. and on treehouse. have always used 16g wall stainless or thicker aluminum. doesn't have to be 'stove pipe'

but sounds like minds made up. ups sounds like the ticket

It was 6" (maybe 8?) stainless duravent. With a big V above it. I still have it

So far the pellet is working. Definitely has some down sides, but so far it's OK. UPS does sound like the ticket. I just need to figure out how big of one I really need.

 

[Java230]

No peak, all single pitch. And it's at the low end..... But yes if it was higher up there would be less weight and velocity to hit the stack

 

[Java230]

Another 16" of fresh stuff.

UPS is tucked into the corner by the recycle bins. According to the data sheet it should run the stove (without the ignitor) for a couple hours. But in reality I assume it's much less. All I need is a shut down cycle tho!

 

[Java230]

And my snowmobile is running shitty. Hits Rev limiter at half throttle ish... Feel like one cylinder isn't running well. Left looking from the front, pull plug and it idles down a little, but not much compared to the other cylinder.....

At speed it kinda feels like a belt slapping.... But belt is good.

Ugh. Maybe power valve or reeds?

But it's deep and soft! Wife got good and stuck 🤣 I almost did too. Boot on one foot does not help moving weight side to side.

Polaris 700 liberty engine.... Both cylinders and exhaust area was same temp.

 

[Java230]

First start in the am. Not sure if it's a weird angle of if that one cyl isn't doing nearly as much. The power valve may babe been blocking it a bit.

It did idle down pretty equally unplugging plug wires this morning....

No helmet, I can hear the fuel pump? Maybe that's not normal?

 

[AK_F250]

What do the plugs look like? With the cold temps I would look at water/ice in the tank and lines too.

I was talking thru it with a Co worker and he said maybe water also. It is ethanol. For storage I run no worries eth, but when it's getting used up fast I run pump gas. Way easier to stop at the gas station! Lol

The first time it just felt like to was falling on it's face. Last time it was feeling like Rev limiter.

Dump a bunch of stabil or seafoam in it?

 

[Java230]

Well it's melting out in a freaking hurry. Low snow year. Fire season may suck.... A lot.

Dragged a ton of brush out before the maples grow in. It's all stacked nicely for chipping.

 

[Java230]

So glad I got the big chipper!!

 

[Java230]

Lots of little misc things this past weekend.

I reminded myself how to use cad and designed and printed a thing! It adapts a computer fan to a 4" duct so I can add a bit of venting to the container. My 4 1/8" hole saw was dull AF, so it doesn't fit quite right yet.... But Ill fix that next weekend.

Solar panel is hooked directly to the fan (24VDC fan) any time sun is up, fan is on.

Wheelchair is super handy! I ahve so much wood to cut and move.....

That is one bed full. I have a lot more......

Borrowed the neighbors tractor and finished spreading all the RR ballast.

Assembled some new chairs for the deck.

Moved BBQ over, it constantly greased up the window....

Changed the air filter on the chipper.

And it barely fits..... I need to do some organizing.

PC Fan to 4" Duct adapter by browncoat7426

This Model allows you to use a much cheaper 120mm computer fan as an inline extractor for your anycubic photon. You will need an existing duct adapter on your photon, some 4 inch ducting and duct clips, you then will print 2 of this model and attach them either side of a pc fan, creating an...
