That's pretty cool. I suspect there were issues or it would have caught on.

It' kinda cool but I don't see it being real livable as currently set up. Like Sharkey said, it's pretty compact so you could park it about anywhere. Its age would make it stand out, so not too much for stealth camping.

Depends on the stove. <snip>Fire is a relentless oxidizer, it carries away metals just like it does wood, it just takes longer, that's all. Thank you for the excellent explanation.

Three stoves in one post: Beginning, here is my original wood stove purchased at the Oregon Country Fair in 1975. It was built by a goldsmith who did blacksmithing on the side. It's a six gallon electric water heater tank adapted to stove use, so it's glass lined. The door swings down and the air d...

Hey!! It's a Nanday Conure. They were put on this earth to do as such. Their job is to make people crazy. They do it well, too. We have a pretty healthy population of wild parrots in my town.

I was sitting in a nice, upscale coffee shop, enjoying the music and my cup of hot coffee. Out of nowhere, I got a gas bubble from hell that built up in my stomach. I didn't want to give up my table, so I decided to time my fart for when the already loud music would hit it's peak. I did this about t...
