I know you guys aren't used to it.....but damn that's still shirt and flannel weather. Drop it another 40° :lol:


LOL I'm kidding. You can put a tarp over the car or truck to keep the wind down. Just don't run the motor and die of asphyxiation ;) Also if you have to lay on snow an old table cloth (with the plastic on one side and the fuzz on the other) works pretty damn well from a blocking out some of the cold and most of the wet. I have a big piece of neoprene material about 5'x4'x.25" that was a game changer. But I always kept a old table cloth like that somewhere stuffed away on the jeep. :blsmoke:

When we’re muddying I keep a shower curtain behind the seat. Also I’ll table cloths at the dollar store ( after whatever holiday just passed) on clearance for real cheap…. way cheaper than ploy.

Replaced the fiberglass gaskets for the woodstove - 1/2" rope gasket for the door and 5/8" ribbon gasket for the glass. Expired gaskets would explain why we haven't had a gentle flame for the past couple of burning seasons and why the glass would turn brown real fast.

The stuff one can find when one is bored and surfing YouTube ...

I replace the one in the door every season at some point. I replaced the asbestos blanket last year.

We use the stove daily from early November through to late April. I agree - a yearly gasket replacement is now on my To-Do list. I have to adjust the door catch a smidgen as it's a little hard to close now with the fatter gasket.

I learned how to grow weed by trial and error - I can apply that to woodstoves too.

I use mine for about that same time frame. I always try to buy them as the go on clearance and have a few extra. The glue will set up but I just get some fresh glue and I’m good to go for a couple of years. I only replace mine when it shows , if it ain’t bad then I ain’t changing it. But it will break at the most inopportune time.

We burned wood for years in AK. I love the smell & the radiating heat but hate the mess that comes in with the wood.

Heating with wood keeps you warm all day.

Working to cut, haul, split and store keeps you warm just by being active.
Toasty evenings by the fire.
And cleanup, more activity to keep you warm.
