Ceiling Fans Blowing Up or Down In Room With Wood Stove?

The problem with a log lift as I see it, is that let's say I mount it on the right side. Now I have to get all my wood on the right side of the splitter all the time. And if a large piece would fall off the left side, I'd have to figure out how to get it to the right side again.

I suppose I could build a table. But my splitter pushes the log through the wedge. So the splits end up past the wedge when they fall apart. So on a large round, there's a piece on each side of the wedge after the first split. I then have to decide which one to slide back to the beam and either slide the other one to the side or let the next split push it out of the way, then figure out how to get it back to the beam again.

I figure with tongs, I can let the two halves fall, grab either one with the tongs, lift it back on the beam and repeat.

Money bet says I'll do neither and just pay the gas bill this winter.

Baby that back!

All the best, Peter

Sorry about your back.

Thanks but don't be. I couldn't walk more than 100' without grabbing a wall. And I could only walk completely hunched over. I couldn't lift anything. Etc.

Now I can walk upright for miles and miles. I don't wake up in the middle of the night screaming in pain. I can lift moderate weight and only have occasional discomfort, but not really pain. I just have to be careful HOW I lift things, and find smarter ways to break things down into lighter loads.

I'm 100% satisfied with the outcome of the surgery. Very fortunate.

That sound like a good little system. I am not judging you, I am genuinely curious. Why do people put wood stoves in the basement? There must be some good reasons, because plenty of people do it. Space, cleanliness, heat rises, etc. For us, our wood stove is as much aesthetic as it is for heating. But living in SE TN we can have that luxury. For you yankees I know wood stoves can be all about business.

I have a pellet stove in the basement. When it’s really cold, I use the stove to heat the floors. And when I leave the basement door open, I can feel the warm air rising through the ground floor of the house.
