  1. hey, lets be serious: an A$$ is an A$$. not much difference. more so if you've seen one too many or had to live ,sleep and drink your coffee with it for a year too many... πŸ™„ Sorry for my honesty. but what is there to see at this exact A$$ in the picture? Maybe if she was completely naked I might take a peek... πŸ˜‚ As for 16 year old boys... irelevant in today world/society. They have nothing, know almost nothing if you take the smartphone/computer from them, easy to manipulate/brainwash and they will stay that way in the near future! P.s. I like nude beach here in Romania, where we have some beautifull women. So I prefer them fully naked ,be them teen 10,12,16, 18 etc or old hags 😁 You should join us here in Vama Veche! plenty of naked a$$es of any age! And classic cars in summer!
  2. seasonal joke πŸ™„πŸ˜Ž
  3. petroleum coke is tempting and some smaller suppliers do sell it by the ton(around 400 euros) but the quality is debateable as is sulphur content... It's not the same as from big suppliers who actually make it in their own refinery like Rompetrol... Although at 8.7 to 9.8 Kwh per kg ,its more than enough for a small stove πŸ˜‚ See for yourself Packaging is 13kg or 20 kg bags. Burn time (their statement/word) 10-12 hours... Better than coal briquettes, nevermind oak or wood briquettes...
  4. Never used it , only once held in hand a big chunk of it near Ploiesti/Brazi refinery. Probably because of sulphur content and other heavy metals in it... To buy petroleum coke around here in Romania you must be a big industrial operator and minimum load is a 25 ton truck... Not for average Joe... I forgot to ever post a video of a fresh fire start from cold in a ceramic tile stove using only oak and some wood briquettes. So here it is one 😁 oak fire ceramic tile stove first 20-30 minutes WWW.BITCHUTE.COM oak firewood and some wood briquettes about 20-30 minutes after light up from a cold start! Got up around 4:00 AM and tried my best with the smartphone. I really am in doubt about this oak wood: is it not seasoned or why does it burn so slow? With birch or hornbeam after 30 minutes of burn was time to add some more wood. Not so with oak. And said birch or hornbeam was seasoned at least 1 year. Still burned faster than oak. The bark on this oak also crackles like popcorn first 10-15 minutes ,then settles into a quiet calm low flames burn. And the wood lookes "sectioned/sliced" while burning. Strange as I never seen it in other wood species. I begin to think it's not seasoned enough πŸ˜‚ Although I use less wood for the whole around 3 hours of burn time until all stove gets hot all over the place(top area first, bottom part in the end). Oak has a similar behaviour to coal briquettes ,those oval/egg like shape. Those things would glow red hot for 5-6 hours and give off a lot of heat but barely get smaller with time. If it wasn't for the questionable content of sulphur wich no one can say/measure for sure and that may damage the stove inside or even chimney(brick type) , I would still use coal briquettes. If exhaust gasses condens in chimney sulphuric acid and other things might drip from top to bottom chimney... All 5 meters of it πŸ™„ Only if I would rebuild the chimney using stainless 316 Ti and insulated from bottom to top I would "dare" to burn coal briquettes... Although the about 6-7 hours actual burn time is impressive. Nevermind the heat they give... One ton might be enough for a whole winter. plus some hardwood in there.
  5. I forgot mention as a "note": If I add a piece of wood "bigger than usual" when the stove is almost hot enough(hand as a thermometer) , one can overheat the stove with dry oak!!! Especially if it's a small metal stove! Ceramic tile stoves are big enough to soak up excess heat even if coal is used, but even these stoves(or 1-2 tons masonry stoves used in Russia) can overheat with dry hard type wood or high power coal if added too much when the stove is close to its heat absorbing capacity! Because it burns slower than other species of hardwood its deceiving for "amateurs"! Best to add smaller pieces of wood when using oak until you know what's what... I too got deceived by coal briquettes and overheated the other ceramic tile stove wich is twice as big as this one in video! Wood briquettes are nicer ,not so vicious as coal briquettes. But dry oak can cause problems if your stove is small and you added too much at once! I've yet to try petroleum coke πŸ™„πŸ˜ One day ,I will 😎
  6. yup, it's a blaze, too hot to keep the door open for too long . hand or face ,it's too much heat for human skin 😁 It burns quite different from birch , less white-yellow big flames almost wanting to escape the stove... More subtle civilized flame with oak. And it burns longer than any wood I used so far. I see now why it's so appreciated this firewood oak "thing" πŸ™„ But the seasoning time (at least 2 years) is a problem if you're in a "hurry". Oak needs planning if you're gonna burn it πŸ˜‚ oak fire stove ceramic tile WWW.BITCHUTE.COM Hot fire in ceramic tile stove with dry oak seasoned 22-24 months
  7. 22 month dry oak WWW.BITCHUTE.COM 22 month oak seasoned dry straight into fire/ceramic tile stove strawberries on 3 december 2025... WWW.BITCHUTE.COM strawberries with flowers in December in Romania... Seems uploading videos on this forum doesn't work! We'll always have a bitchute πŸ˜‚πŸ™„
  8. burned a few oak since about a week ago. so far behaves like hornbeam ,burns slow lasts longer the bark crackles if added to an allready hot fire. but the shocking thing I found in the garden today, 3 december... The 25-26 years old strawberries (wich by the way are green even in winter/freezing conditions) have flowers and I'm not sure if there were any polinators around ,even fruits... The world and climate is going to hell πŸ€”πŸ˜± I don't ever remember strawberries having flowers in December... If it doesn't freezes in december and somehow they get polinated I might eat strawberries from my garden... By Christmas πŸ€” ... VID_20251203_141428695.mp4
  9. "Do this for a living"? nope ,surely not. Just cutting logs ocassionally for firewood. Sometimes someone asks me to cut a few trees that bothers him. I ended up on this forum after getting about 4 cubic meters of oak logs, for firewood about 21-22 months ago. Was baffled by how "stubborn" was to cut by chainsaw yet easy to split by axe. Was a decision of moment because usually I buy beech or hornbeam. Wich I know what's it about and how long it takes to dry/season. Then I found out from some individuals that I might wait 3-5 years for this oak to season πŸ€”πŸ˜± Of course I got even more curios and baffled WTF 3-5 years are they talking about... If after 2 years this oak doesn't burns right like beech and hornbeam have done past winters I'm done with oak as firewood! but anyway, big chainsaws are good for hardwood if you're in a hurry 😁
  10. 60cc seems the minimum for the "average user". Probably too big if you're climbing trees 😁 But for ground stuff I begin to think a 90cc chainsaw is the right choice. (390/395xp). More power is always welcomed. I sure am tempted
  11. 60-70cc seems to be the right spot for a chainsaw for the normal/"average" guy, not professional. BUT: I did got the chance to hold and use/cut into a hardwood log with a Husqvarna 390,old but in good shape. I was impressed ,quite a difference from Makita EA6100P. And same dude ,that is almost always either in forest chopping trees or in 6x4 truck transporting logs , confessed he's thinking about a new Husqvarna 395xp . Because more power= better chainsaw. Who's complaining about weight get back to gim and pushups 😁 I haven't used+carried that 390xp all day or at least 3-4 hours but it didn't felt that much heavier than a Makita EA6100. Chain .325 but it has limits... As for blade length... As long as you need it to be . Women want it longer and bigger. πŸ™„ They must know something
  12. Hey, jokes aside ,lattex/rubbery gloves are good for grip. 😁 A "kind of" good thing when in slippery wet conditions at 20-30 meters in a tree . I don't trust leather for grip. πŸ™„
  13. I forgot to mention: for me ALL grease is "grease"... Since I'm "one of a kind" don't actually use lubricating grease on your leather jacket... πŸ™„ Grasso Foca from Reflex looks like this, and its synthetic(no animals got melted down into the metal box 😁 ). But first "production" boxes DID contain animal fat(best so far for water sealing leather clothes). You could also use rubber jacket OVER leather jacket and rubber pants over normal pants. But boots must also be covered in rubber or they will get wet(socks included...). And if you're climbing 20-30 meters in a tree in rain the rubber jacket must tight around your wrists or water will go straight into your dry clothes... Head covered in same rubber material, or else water will slowly go down your back and... you're wet in no time around your lungs... Pneumonia is around the corner not long(second day...). Same for the neck/chest area. Good luck! πŸ₯³
  14. Rubber or PVC full suit. Leather jacket under that if it's also cold. But your boots+socks will get wet ,unless covered in rubber too. I can't see other materials tough and durable enough to resist pouring rain all day.
