My brother in law whose been burning wood for over 40 years and cuts firewood for a living told me my wood is going to rot before I get to use it, I have 11 cords so Im about three years ahead, some people will never get it no matter what.

Maybe I am just to old and cynical but after years of telling people about the positives of burning dry wood and getting nowhere I just started to chalk it up to laziness. Building up an inventory of 6-24 cords of wood is plain old hard work for most people. It's a nasty sweat producing chore that breaks fingernails and backs. I think most of these people want wood to be like oil or gas. Some guy pulls up, delivers the fuel, your ready to go!
I know I have a convert when they say something like " must make you feel good and secure to have all that wood", or, " you must feel like you have accomplished something while they stare at the wood"....... To them kind I share an insight. " yup it does feel good, real good, to soak in a hot bath in a 70 degree house after spending a day cutting in late fall or winter....and knowing those damn Arabs ain't getting any of my money!" Cheers!

I too have stated laziness is one of the biggest reasons folks don't get ahead on their wood supply. Kind of like the fellow who just had something to eat and could not imagine going to a grocery store to buy something to eat the next day. I know many folks who have got caught with no wood supply. They cut only what they need. Then occasionally Mother Nature throws us a curve ball and the snow piles up. Hum.... Can't get to the woods. I even know one poor soul who one year could not get to his woods because of mud. For him, that one year was the teacher and now he has more wood put up than I do.
One of my favorite things to do as I leave my toasty warm house in the morning on the way to work, is to glance back up to the chimney and see no smoke what so ever.
Laziness and the "Burger King mentality". I'll have it NOW and MY WAY.Standkingdead, your post is classic!

that might turn her from the dark side.....and i might do the "along side the head" thing FIRST, just to get her attention while you explained it again.I like the idea of handing her a few splits and letting her see the difference of good dry wood.............Then if she still gives you grief about the wood rotting after that, give her one more split....along side the head perhaps.
Final thought . . . there are few things that are as comforting as a woodshed full of seasoned wood and a pantry full of food.
You forgot the cooler full of beer
True . . . if you're a beer drinker. I never learned to drink the stuff though . . . some day I'll grow up and drink beer and coffee.
