This is really old, so the I doubt that the OP is still reading, or the issue has been resolved. But I'm with the "shouldn't be legal according to building codes" camp. There should be a minimum chimney height "above the highest point in the roof within x feet of the chimney" kind of building code rule. If this makes the chimney too high for single wall pipe, you can always add insulated chimney pipe that is easier to get heated, and will retain enough heat in the flow through it to not affect the draft. Well known fact that if a chimney is tall enough to let the flow through it cool, that will slow down the draft, hence insulated chimney pipe needs to be used. Anyways, yes, this would not be acceptable to me, either. In fact, in our area a woodstove that smoked that much (is that inefficient) couldn't be able to be sold commercially, due to air quality concerns. Stoves here must have either a catalytic converter or must be much more efficient burners than that one. Of course, there's no control on the used market, other than just being a good citizen and having consideration for general and neighbor's air quality. Or someone reporting this smoke plume to local building code enforcement, much less likely to happen.

edlincoln(6A) /beng12(z6 west Md) /wisconsitom / wisconsitom(Zone 4/5) 1.) Austrian Pine - Ok enough of you are saying bad Choice, so its gone. 8.) Black Locust - This is indeed invasive. Its the same as honey locust except no thorns and different color wood and flowers. I wouldve wanted to keep all these honey locust trees, if they didnt have those huge poker. But there are 3 logical reasons why I decided to keep it. A - This tree has great erosion control abilities in wetlands. B - Its wood value (rot resistant/ dense/ nice grain) is excellent along with its growth rate. Need alot of post. It can try to be as invasive as it wants. Also C - Im a pretty heavy Halloween decorator, and these are the creepest looking live trees ive seen. 9.) Atlas Cedar - Just going to plant 3. If they dont make it, no big deal, I will grow something else. Substitutions: Not bad trees, but other trees are better choices 1.) English Oak - I agree with what your saying and will only grow 12 of these and mix them in. If they dont make it then I will put something else in its place. 2.) Red Pine - I dont disagree, but we have these trees on the property upnorth and the kids went through the trouble of getting the seeds out of the cones. Plus the rest of the family members are sentimental over them and if giving them a few trees will allow me to do some of my future products, then I will bite the bullet. 3) Red Maple - I think the difference from what I been reading is one produces soft maple wood and the other produces Hard maple wood. Regardless though, the rest of the family members each picked out their own favorite maple trees and the rest of this answer is the same as the answer for Red Pine. 4.) European Beech Im planting for wood purposes and wildlife, so im planting both. Additions: 1.) Tupelo (Nyssa Sylvatica) - Everything on the list is being planted except for things with a line through it or a X next to it. Obviously this will be planted. 2.) American Holly - I believe this is on the decorative tree list. 3. ) Did you say there was another list of flowering trees? I'd like to see that. - Granted - you have been extremely helpful and would appreciate additional feedback! Will put the other 2 list up in about 10 minutes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /beng12(z6 west Md) - TY very much for posting pictures and giving me confirmation of the loblolly x pitch / Arizona Cypress / Loblolly / and Pondarosa pine. I really appreciate that! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- kitasei(6b lower Hudson Valley, NY) - Yeah, I cant disagree with what your saying. But my arrogance is based off of logic/proof/OCD that is coming from lots of people experts in the fields giving me the same information, forcing my stances. So if there is no logic/proof/or a group of people to back a claim, then yes my mind will not change easily. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- waynedanielson - 1st - I dont do notebooks. They fill up too fast. 2nd - But I do have 56 word documents with around 200 pages for various things to jot/remember. 423 excel documents highly detailed for various list. Just know that I am doing what your saying, except on a pc. I got my hands in lots of cookie jars and I like to keep everything organized for reference purposes.

Jasdip you might be able to find the Outlander books and paperbacks are available. The first in the series ' Outlander' was published in 1991, and the other novels every few years after that. She's currently writing her 9th in a 10 book series and readers are hoping that it will be out soon. There was talk of a movie years ago, Katherine Heigl was attached to it. The TV series was developed by STARZ and so far there have been 5 seasons. I think they're now filming the 6th. Netflix has 3 seasons listed on it's web site. Originally I read the novels as they were published and then re-read the entire series when they aired the first season. I find them complex and totally engrossing and I'm not a fan of the typical bodice-ripper nor science fiction. And even though time travel is the basis for the entire plot it somewhat fades into the background and becomes just another aspect of the characters' roles. As Alisande mentioned the author researches everything in great depth and I find the historical aspect to be very interesting. The books do not categorize easily, the author refers to them as "Big, Fat, Historical Fiction," like James Michener. They are rich with detail, character driven and addictive.

I admit watching good TV is one of my favorite hobbies, and I look forward to checking out these recommendations. I second Episodes with Matt Lablanc. I also loved Enlightened on HBO with Laura Dern, quirky character and heartwarming. I also enjoyed Jimmy Carter Rock n Roll President on Netflix (I'm a Georgian) and the documentary Crip Camp, a great story about birth of disability rights movement.
