Chuck asked:


I am wanting to install a wood stove into a house me and my wife have. The walls are concrete walls and I was wondering about burning wood in it. The wood stove is a cast iron free standing wood stove from www.harborfreighttools.com I have a free supply of wood pallets..that I could cut up and burn. Do you think there is any problem using that type of wood to burn. I would keep the the flue cleaned out. Where would I buy the stove pipe to install it at? Also what is the best and easiest way to cut a 6″ hole thro a concrete block wall? and tips or suggestions? I am trying to keep our home warm on a budget..
the site is www.harborfreight.com and the stove is part # 32058-5VGA
THERE is no issues with the insurance..the house we have is in Mexico and is a concrete home..

Here is the deal. There were some maple trees on the side of the road for free. The trees were laying in poison ivy. I brought them home and cut the wood up 2 weeks later than got poison ivy. The plant oil must be on the logs. Is it safe to burn them this year or should i wait until next year when they are completely dried out? I have a indoor wood stove. Thanks!!
