    HVAC Question involving Woodstove

    I am confused about this part... "I really don't like hearing the boiler kick on and burn oil when I know there is no demand for hot water." Are you enabling the boiler off of loop temp or thermostatic control of room temp? If there is no demand than why is the boiler running? The 170-190 temp...

    Hot Sauce Recommendation?

    ^^^ This all day long! El Yucateco is the best all around hot sauce out there. the XXX Mayan is probably more of a 4 but like Aaron says the green is great flavor and not too crazy hot.

    Mountain Goat Books?

    I second "A Beast The Color Of Winter" by Douglas Chadwick This is not a hunting book but more the ecology of Mountain Goats. If you know where, why and how animals live in their natural environment you can hunt them with far better success.

    Best hunting pants for short legs

    I also have the problem of my transmission built too close to the ground. I hem all my pants after buying them as I am a 29" inseam. The Stone Glacier De Havilland pants hemmed up have been good for me. I don't run the knee pads in them but I feel like the knee cuts line up well. Hands down the...

    NM New Minimum Age to Hunt

    My son is 8 and has an active CO hunters safety. I was just able to login to his account and apply for big game tags. To apply for big game you have to purchase the hunting license first and there was no problem at all with this on my end. From the OP is sounded like they locked the accounts but...

    Help on Gun Vault Room

    You can get either a fused link fire damper for the airflow or a true smoke and fire electrical damper. The fused link is a simple drop curtain that is held up with lead or another metal with low melting point. As soon as there is enough heat to melt the lead it will drop the curtain preventing...

    Home gun vaults. Who has one and what’s the do and donts ?

    We are in the process of building our new house and put a safe in under the front porch. Since this was a new build it added very little to the cost of project. We designed this house ourselves so we were able to utilize the front porch and some corner foundation basement walls for the vault...

    Cabo fishing suggestions

    We were trolling for marlin and got all the other fish. All the captains were talking to one another so after we got 2 marlin they moved in a little closer for the mahi.

    Cabo fishing suggestions

    We went in February and caught a good mixed bag staying close to Cabo. I think the most fun was the Dorado but reeling in a 150# marlin was awesome too. There are lost of Bonito that time of year too. I don't think you would be out of line asking to look for quantity over quality and target the...

    What’s the coolest thing you found in the back country

    Not completely backcountry but every year we cut our firewood from the same stand of old growth forest on the CO front range. Couple years back I went to throw another log on the fire and there was a horseshoe glowing red in the fireplace. This had to be inside a piece of pine that somehow I...

    Cabo fishing suggestions

    If you go with any of the bigger name charters in the marina they will package and freeze your fish for you overnight. Buy a "cheap" cooler at the mall and some duct tape. Don't add any ice just the frozen fish and tape her up good. Check it in with your other bags at the airport. Fish will stay...

    Shed antler lamps

    Not to hijack your thread here but I am a couple months away from finishing up building my new house. Wanting to make an antler chandelier for the covered front porch. I have a pile of good brownie elk and deer sheds, most of which came off my property with the house on it. What are/were you...
