    You should change that ropey stuff.
    I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

    Google the "dollar bill test." Do that, and if you need a gasket I recommend purchasing an OEM one for your specific stove. In my experience they are higher quality than generic replacements. Both will seal, but you'll get a longer useful life out of the OEM gaskets.

    Who is cutting wood?

    Got my new stove today. True North. A very good deal at $1100 out the door. Nothing fancy - all black. Flat top is great for cooking on it. Saved $350-400 by meeting the guy at another job and picking up and installing it myself.









    Moving the old cast iron fucker was a bitch. I think it weighs 500# or more. It will go in the yard as some sorta planter art piece.

    Ready for winter!

    It might not be the gasket. Could always see light at gasket even with new. Replaced part of closing mechanism with home made and its way better. Will try again to get some real compression on gasket.

    Getting through my pile finally. Came across a 291 this year and went to town. Got a FS permit and have been gathering the biggest wood I could find this fall All hand split. Best workout ever. Name:  ImageUploadedByTGR Forums1477023189.666432.jpg

    So NTR (name that run) was started 5 years ago as some kind of silly marketing extravaganza where you could win a contest & name a new ski run, managments concept of how much work it was gona take to cut a ski runh was slightly off

    So last Saturday we assembled a big/diverse (cops to old hippies) crew of pretty much old fuckers including a couple of ex-fallers up at the ski hill to push the new ski run thru and we got er done

    Its kind of ironic that the only skiers who have ever been dumb enough/tuff enuff to showup & run saw for the new ski run are some old backcountry skiers who arent allowed to tour there

    I had my 1st problem on my not so new sthil 261, after 2 years the oiler quit oiling, so I watched some you toob vids, took stuff apart, fiddled about and found the end of the pump drive that fits in the slot on the clutch hub was worn thru, so I just need to buy the part and slip it in ... google is your friend for saw repair eh?

    edit: The part was a 3.27$ grip clip with a stub that fits into the clutch hub worn 3/4 way thru, I think that clip could be taken off and flipped over to be used until the stub wore off entirely

    Right on Al!

    So I'm going to post a link here to a CBC program. Apologies if this has been posted already, however you should all listen to this documentary. THIS IS CANADA!
    http://www.cbc.ca/radio/thisisthat/e...tire-1.3781563

    Just about shit myself when I listened to this again just now. The Mcready brothers are 100km E of Prince Rupert. That's pretty much at the Shames Mountain turn off on Hwy 16.

    Ran the splitter for another 1/2 cord Sunday and the old man gave us at least a quarter cord of dried applewood he's had for 30 years.
    By this time of year, my back is hardly even tired.

    I need to borrow a log roller/peavey. I think a friend has one to loan. I've been using a rock bar with split rounds as folcrums (or just my shoulders amd legs) in really soft forest floor to roll my big logs when bucking. My body is feeling well used today.

    I just finished cutting about 2 cords from the National Forest and brought it home for the winter. I'm kind of surprised I cut all that oak and maple on the same chain. Now it's time to split and stack it. Up next is cutting wood for the cottage

    Yeah the child sueing his parents for embarrassing photos posted on FB, Canada post releasing commemorative stamps of wreck beach (nude beach in Vancover) , arranged gay marriages, the american legislator trying to ban Canadians from driving in the USA, a small town in Ontario putting sugar in the water supply so people will drink more water

    http://www.cbc.ca/radio/thisisthat

    The whole show is and always has been 100% SATIRE

    But people tuning in for the 1st time don't realize it so they phone in to comment on what a stupid idea it is, the comments are always great

    I didn't realize that the worm gear was a wear and tear item. This was one of the handful of problems that i had to address on the used ms361 that i bought this summer. Mine worked on and off. But it oiled great (for a while) after i replaced the worn gear. The old one was super thrashed.

    I have been working in a wood yard lately. Mostly prepping logs for the wood processor and bucking juniper logs that are too ugly to go in the machine. Trusty stihl 440 with a fresh new oem top end. Listening to a ton of podcast and getting a workout.

    Who is cutting wood?

    Nice work if you can get it.

    I've been dealing with a lot of wood the last few days.




    The inside woodbox, with spots for kindling, newspaper, and assorted accoutrements.
