I stack my wood in the woodshed so that I have no "dead zones" in it. I thought I was using a lot of wood this year to heat the house and shop, but I was pleasantly surprised today when I did some measuring. Winter should be half over, and I have burned 6.5 cord in the boiler that has run nonstop since election day. We also have burned about a cord of wood in the fireplace, mostly before lighting the boiler. We have also burned the fireplace on some of those brutal cold days a couple of weeks back. I figure seasonal usage at 12-14 cord per year, so I'm not bad off. I started the heating season with 30 cord stacked in the woodshed and tractor shed. No worries of running out, and house and shop have been real comfy buy pushing the boiler To my preset limits. It is a Royal Wood/Coal boiler with controlled combustion air. Combustion air is shut off at a high limit of 180F and comes back on when boiler temp drops back to 170F. I have a suspended hot water unit heater in the shop and I retrofitted the house with radiant floor heat back in the early 90s. When we built the house in 1971 we supplemented the oil furnace with a home built wood furnace and a wood burning kitchen cook stove, which were both removed when the new radiant heat was installed. The central fireplace, that I built in during a 90s remodel, a ("Fireplace Extrordinar") has served us very well when moderate heat or some ambiance is in order. Loren

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
