Welcome back to OC-Outdoors! We've got a nice little how to article for todays post. I needed to replace the flue on the wood burning stove in the garage. So made a quick trip to tractor supply company to pick up the materials. What do you need to replace the flue Black stove pipe Slip pipe Self tapping screws Screw driver and or drill Possibly angled pipe depending on the layout of your exhausting system(mine is just straight through the roof) Process of replacing stove pipe flue The first step in the process for replacing the flue on the wood burning stove is to remove the old stove pipe currently in place. Pretty obvious right!? However, this really can be the most difficult part of the whole project as I came to find out. My pipe was rusted and corroded together, which was the whole reason for this project to begin with. You can kind of see this in the picture to the right. So, I sprayed mine with WD-40 and let it sit severa...
This past spring my wife and I took a trip with a group of friends to Baldwin Michigan. We rented a camper and pulled our Polaris RZR 1000xp up for the weekend. It was a very cool place to visit as you can ride your ATV or UTV pretty much anywhere up there. There were only select roads marked prohibiting offroad vehicle traffic. We definitely had a fun time and will more than likely make it back up that direction this year. Since it's the middle of winter I figured I would upload a short video of that ride and try to cure the riding blues a little. Take a look at the video and let me know what you think! https://youtu.be/87qJK0XC6zI
I'm looking at getting a new chainsaw to maintain some of the woods that we have on our newly acquired 5.5 acres. Currently I have an 18v battery operated cordless pole saw which works awesome for high up limbs and smaller trees and brush. Now I'm to the point where I have most of that type of material cleaned up and need somwthing with more power. I've looked at several different models of new chainsaws. I think I've decided to go with something with around 40cc and a 16-18" bar. I know there are tons of different brands out there, but is it worth the extra money to go Stihl chainsaw or Husqvarna chainsaw? I am very new to the chainsaw world so I would love some opinions and experiences from others. What do you feel is the best chainsaw? Please leave your comments and let me know what you use and how you like it or maybe some things you don't like about it! Help me decide what chainsaw to buy!
