Ashes can be spread on your yard to help fertilizer your grass. Can be dump and spread in your garden area to help vegetables grow better each year. Till the ashes in good. Thank you for the information on the wood boiler. Have a great day be safe.

I just fired my stove up last night for the first time! Sarah was cold 🥶, stay tuned for the video! I love that you sift out the charcoal… I’ve thought about doing it but never knew if it would make all that much of a difference in starting. Instead I give all my ash to my friend for his chickens… When cleaning mine out I often leave a little pile of coals in the center for this exact reason! I have a little propane torch with a neck on it as well I use it to light my big green egg and stove, what a game changer!

Like the comment about thanksgiving. Do you think they'll keep coming around?

I roll up newspapers in toilet paper rolls and dip the ends in melted wax. Great fire starters. And I’ve used paper egg cartons filled with dryer lint and then wax. They work great as well.

I still think there’s no better heat than wood. And you get exercise, very important. Great video Tony

I haven’t started a fire yet here we’re I live but soon. I put about 4 cords of wood in we’re it dry. Going to put another cord in the garage should hold me over for the year.

Morning Tony, so many great things in this video, but I love that cane torch, and I wish my crown royal had that gasifier site glass. If nothing else it look grea on video. Thanks for another informative and entertaining video.
P.S. I have to assume with your voice that your day job must be doing voice overs and radio work. Lol

Good Morning Tony, We haven’t started our Central Boiler yet, but we are ready!🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸

[fricknjeep]

hi there good show sifting ashes . started that around 25 + years . it does work in many ways, on your icey drive way, if you do the black walnut thing or know someone that does the broken shells work great on ice, and keep a bag of them in your trunk in the winter just in case . hope to meet up next week . john

Tony have you ever used your boiler as the fire source to make homemade charcoal in a small drum placed in the boiler?

[obiorah]

You have a nice wood boiler, nice introduction, very well explained,
