Drolet HT-2000 Update

 Since I've used this stove a few times, I just wanted to show how you could load the wood in a North-South orientation.  This wasn't even full but it still burned all night and kept the house warm.


Lighting the stove has been very easy with a little kindling on top of the wood.  It drafts very, very well (I have about six feet of single wall pipe in the house and another nine feet of double wall pipe for a chimney).


I've smelled smoke only once in the house.  It was my fault.  Open the damper completely (set it to 4 or IIII) and wait just a moment before opening the door.  Even with the door open, the draft is strong enough that smoke doesn't come in the house.

Comparing Oil Prices

I'm a sucker for spreadsheets.  Its so convenient to lay out the data, compare, and make an informed decision.  Okay.  I probably get carried away with it.  Did I really need to make one to compare oil prices?  Um no.  But I didn't anyway.  My Grand Oil Price Comparison Spreadsheet This comparison includes motor oil, gear oil, and transmission fluid prices I compiled from Amazon, Autozone, Meijer, Menards, Tractor Supply, and Walmart.  These prices are generally for the West Central Indiana market so they may vary. As I have time, I will add other local retailers (Advance Auto, Napa, and O'Reilly).  This is mostly centered around my fleet of Fords.  In our household, we're driving a 1998 F-150 XLT 4.6L 4x4, 2004 Expedition XLT 4.6L 4x4, and a 2010 Expedition EL Eddie Bauer 5.4L 4x4.  I never meant to be a Ford fanboy but its pretty convenient keeping all the same fluids and filters around.  Some oils are marked specifically as ...

How to Make Fedora Look Like Ubuntu

  Ubuntu is known for its theming and Unity-esque appearance.  Fedora's theme has improved over the years, but I still largely prefer the appearance of Ubuntu.  It has a certain Mac like modern look to it and the Ubuntu font is among the best available.  To make Fedora look like Ubuntu, you can follow these steps: Open a terminal and run: sudo dnf install gnome-shell-yaru Enable the Yaru theme in GnomeTweaks.

Install Gogh for Terminal Theme Install Gogh from GitHub: sh git clone https://github.com/Gogh-Co/Gogh.git cd Gogh ./install.sh Select the "Clone of Ubuntu" profile for your terminal: gogh clone ubuntu Apply the theme: gogh apply ubuntu Install Ubuntu Fonts : Download the Ubuntu font family from Google Fonts. Copy the font files to the fonts directory: sudo ...
