A beautiful herb garden with an unexpected secret below! 🏡🛠️ This clever concept combines a functional raised planter with a concealed underground hideout. Hidden beneath the hinged hatch is a cozy, wood-lined space designed with concrete reinforcement, moisture protection, and dedicated airflow. A fascinating blend of gardening and hidden-space design!

A hidden shelter disguised as a simple stack of firewood! 🌲🏡 Open the false section, and you'll discover an underground hideout built into the hillside. With a dry interior, storage space, and emergency essentials, this clever concept brings a whole new meaning to off-grid preparedness. Would you spot the entrance?

Country Wood Stove
I was offered this wood stove for free. I don’t know much about wood stoves - Is this a good brand and pretty straight forward to get stove pipe pieces for it and some new fire bricks? I was thinking of installing in my shed office to heat in the winter. Any input would be appreciated. It looks like it would be pretty nice with a little bit of clean up. Thanks

Question about flue sweeping
Hi all!

As it’s the start of the winter season here in the UK and with the current cost of heating oil I would like to start using my wood burner more often as the main heat source for our house. I have access to a fair bit of free wood which was cut two years ago and has been stacked as branches, then recently processed over summer by myself into logs and left to dry in a log store.

Obviously build up in the flue is a concern of mine if we are planning to use it more frequently so I had a few question regarding safe use.

The picture above is of the flue, this was cleaned around feb last year, we are unable to get a sweep in for a while but would you consider this okay to use? Planning on getting it swept as soon as I can.

If using daily how often would you recommend checking / sweeping?

Is it possible to/ safe to stay on top of build up by sweeping myself? Considering getting a brush.

I have a baby on the way so safety is super important to me, but I’m keen to use it more.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Is this the right stove?
I am wondering if anyone has any insights. I have an old Country S210 wood stove. My home was built in 2019 and is about 1300 sf. I live in the PNW. I am wondering if this stove will be too hot? I really like the overall size of the fire box but dont want to overheat our home with a stove that is too big. When I look it up, I have seen that this stove is rated from 1200-2000 sf. Any insights would be wonderful. If you have this stove or have a similar size in your home. Thanks for your help!

Rust inside firebox - normal or excessive?
Just had my insert (Osburn 2000i) swept in preparation for season 2; put half a cord through it during its first year. No creosote at all, which was good, and I think they did a good job with the sweep and inspection. However during inspection the sweeps flagged what they deemed concerning amounts of rust in the firebox. I don't have a ton of experience with wood stoves, so I'm wondering what you all think. Worse than normal? The sweep flagged several hairline cracked bricks on my chimney as a path that might allow water v***r (his words) in to cause the rusting, but a) I'm not sure I understand how that would translate to rusting *inside* my stove if it's brick on the chimney, and b) I have the entire chimney pretty substantially siloxaned and water beads up on the entire chimney very well. No evidence of water pe*******on in the attic on the CMU (it turns from brick to CMU below the roof line) or anywhere else.

Also, I live in a part of the country that's really humid from April to October, so does excess humidity cause this as well as the humid air sinks down into the firebox? If so, how do I prevent this from occurring moving forward? And do I need to do anything about this current rust now, or let it burn off this winter?

Smoke coming through thimble?
I have my pellet stove in the basement. Vents outside.

I keep getting a faint smell of smoke and I’ve isolated it to coming in from outside.

My question.

The pipe going into my house through the thimble. Am I allowed to use high temp silicone around this? Should I also put that same silicone on the interior to my house where the pipe comes through? I can feel cold air coming through.

This is likely where it’s drafting back into my basement.

I also plan to silicone around the gaps on the metal plate outside.

Oddly enough. We get a faint smell of smoke on our main floor where my stove exhausts. I used to think it was my windows. But they’re now brand new and I noticed it today.

New woodshed
Finally got everything stacked before the first big rain tonight. Thanks to u/goldflyer for his post. I used his post as a template. New blaze king gets installed next week, so hopefully have two full years of firewood. Surely not the cheapest option but hoping this lasts for years. Center bay will be used to store tools/mower. Planning to throw sliding barn doors on the center bay next year.

Is it too big?
I'm about to light up my first trial fire. I like the looks of the top down method. This is the size of wood that I have for now. Is it too big? There's no thermostat on this well seasoned unit yet. Thank you for any help!! This needs to happen today for I am sick of freezing!

Update I've made it up to 3 larger logs. Using oak and fir. It feels so nice to get the chill out of this cabin. I'd add another picture if it would allow from here, but it would show logs and fire, you get the gist. It sounds like I should let this one burn down and out, let it cool, and do it again tonight or tomorrow. Love learning new skills!
