    Help needed with new 48 patio

    Two things come to mind. You need more air and you may have wood that has a high moisture content. If your splits are definetly dry, then try smaller splits. More surface area and more air will give you more heat. Good luck WC Edit - Congrats on the Lang. You'll love it.

    BBQ Restaurant in the Joplin, MO Area?

    Sorry I can't help you. I grew up in Carterville/Webb City/Joplin. Many places that were the best were in the path of the Joplin tornado in May. My brother owns Minerva's on Main Street in Webb City. It was a famous candy shop for many years. If you're in the area and want to stop by, tell them...

    Portable generators may not be able to heat a house. My 20KW can heat and cool my house with every light on, the dryer running and the oven on broiler. :) The only gas I have is the propane to run the generator. WC
