Take a look at the 'front page'. Note from Spencer on there, along with the start of a new look. I 'think' we may end up migrated over here with all the trouble the lists are giving him.

Folks Spencer's server went 'tits up' last week. No fix, mother board. Looks like he has the new server and loaded the software/memory back. :cool:

George: Looks like a great show. Would Dan be related to you?? I would really like to come out to the left coast for this one. If I could find a way -Gene, how many hours/days would it take flying out in the Maule??

Tools, Trades and Engineering / Shop heat / corn stoves??

« on: December 24, 2007, 01:53:10 AM »

My shop is concrete block and has been heated by coal for the 30 years we have had it. Big pot belly furnace with a box fan blowing on it to get the heat arouind the 32 X 48 shop. Coal is dirty, a week every year in the spring to clean the shop. And $70.00 a ton last year at the mine!!!  Along with several trips a day to the shop just to tend to the fire.  Getting rid of the ash is dirty. Did I say that it tends to make a mess in the shop. I need something better!
Anyone out there running a 100,000btu+ corn hot air furnace? Or a wood pellet verison? Other ideas?
I'm stuck with forced air as the shop is already built. If I were to build new I would put the tubes in the floor and go with an outside wood or corn fired boiler.
 I do have a 90+ gas furnace that we installed a couple of years ago that I can keep it ~ 50 degrees for ~ 3 dollars a day.
But I really like the corn idea.

Ideas???
