It's the triple walled stainless steel chimney pipe that could cost you $80 per foot that adds up rather quick. This pipe lasts lifetimes..so whatever the price is, you will recover the money spent sooner than later.Cannonpointer » 20 Jun 2022, 8:02 pm » wrote: ↑ That is sad. But a decent wood stove and stack can be got and self-installed for a few hundred, and a decent chainsaw can be got for peanuts. I paid more in 80's dollars than chainsaws cost today in 20's dollars they're ****' GIVIN' 'em away. What else is required? A wedge and a mallet - or maybe just a good ax?
I agree that wood heat is labor intensive, but it is CASUAL labor - that is, you can do it on your own schedule, when time permits. Burning wood builds character.
A splitting maul with a hard plastic guard on the handle has proven to be my favorite tool..but you still need a couple of wedges to keep your other tools from getting stuck in a bind at times.
