Storing tomatoes




  1. Ping from bogie:

    Hu, that is interesting. Unfortunately, I’m sure that ash from the pellet stove would be too corrosive to do this (it is way more corrosive than ash from a wood stove and requires special exhaust tubing for that reason).

    • Ping from Ruth:

      Its basically just wood ash though, right. I always thought that the reason for the different piping was because the pellet stoves burned hotter producing different gasses?

  2. Ping from bogie:

    Actually I was thinking of a corn/wood pellet mixture being more corrosive, so I misspoke.

    The advantage with a pellet stove over a wood stove is it is less likely to create creosote. Not because it burns hotter but because the burn is controlled better with air forced into the burn pot and the exhaust is forced out at a high rate of speed. And some pellet stoves (like mine) actively track the exhaust temp and will take more heat from the stove to keep that exhaust at the optimum temp (reducing the heat blown out into the room).
