Good dry clean red oak is my favorite, Pine is OK, but soft and doesn't break as easy as oak, Elm is a twisted mess, but possible if frozen and you split with the rings. If you try to split across it you will bury 3 wedges, an axe and a chainsaw LOL

I have split a bunch of wood over the years. It all splits differently.
Closely grown Doug Fir that is straight for the majority of it's height and
limb free is easy to split. Oregon White Oak is at the other end of the
scale. Madrone is absolutely one of the toughest ones. Most of the wood
cutters I see now use power splitters. We had a severe ice storm in Feb
2021, and lost all of the Oregon White Oaks in our yard except one. We had
11 of them. All our shade went with them. We will miss that this summer.
Won't miss the 100 bags of leaves, though. Will plant grass seed this
spring where those stumps were. We had all those stumps ground out and
hauled off as chips. Sure looks differently now.

Dave & CJV,
The quiet fan came along because Tom Pryor went searching for a better clutch for our fans. He discovered the electrically controlled clutch and fan
used in the Sprinter vans was the correct rotation. He then went on to manufacture an adapter for out water pump drive and look for a controller. He
has made several controllers and the current design allows you to control the slip in the clutch so it is only working as hard as it needs to. This
means most of the time (unless you are in panic mode) it is way less noise than either the fan at full speed the stock metal fan. Even at flat out,
it is more air and less noise than the OE fan.
Applied has the kit under cooling (bottom of the first page). If you have the old horse collar fan shroud, you will have to replace
that as well.
If you have the Delco 747 ECU, that has an output for fan control. I don't have that, so I can't help you there.
Matt

From what I can see in the brief moments the exterior is on camera, the
coach looks to be sporting about $20,000 or more in body and paint. Add
that to the meticulously remodeled interior and you can be at $85,000
fairly easily. Woodstove or not

Definitely. I think it's probably worth the price. But i'd be surprised if the new owner kept the wood stove.
