We’re making our own furnace cement!
We recently started making our own furnace cement. It has been interesting learning to mix a highly viscous material (almost 500,000 centipoise; water is 1 cps) and then fill caulking tubes, but Yankee Ingenuity has prevailed. Our unique ingredients are soapstone powder, and very small strands of chopped fiberglass.

Table Scraps #4: Acorn and Oak Leaf Tools
For the October Steal of the Month we made tools with an Acorn & Oak Leaf handle, which you see below:
Keeping an Eye on Fuel Costs
In our area, pellet prices have drifted up from an average
of $250/ton to about $300/ton, and the price for #2 fuel oil has dropped from
about $3.25 to approximately $2.25 per gallon.

Inside the Race to Zero Stove- Part 1
Our Goal: Flatline Emissions
The race to zero has begun. Wood stove emissions are measured in grams per hour of particulates at different burn rates (low, medium, and high). As a general rule, all stoves have higher emissions at higher burn rates. The more BTUs per hour a stove produces, the more emissions per hour it produces. We hope to overcome this “rule”.
Race to Zero T-Shirt
Every worthwhile mission deserves a T-Shirt. Our "Race to Zero" T-shirt is pictured below. For owners who attend our November 7th Open House and let us know by using the RSVP button below, there will be a free T-shirt waiting.
