"Yeah a chimney sweep would cost you too much for that 40 ft chimney and 12 pitch roof. What you do is you go pick up a six pack and some rods and brushes...".

"Yeah, sure - running your chimney out a window sounds like a great idea, no point in paying for chimney parts you don't really need"
 
I'll skip the maple....make mine pine!

I would absolutely say that. My burning season is much longer than my "seasoning" part of the year, so I want the fastest drying wood I can find. If you haven't seen an NC-30 with a box full of dry 3x3 pine splits, you haven't lived.

"Sure, you can burn green wood."
 
I paint my railroad ties "Day-Glo" for those pretty holiday fires!

That was quite the popular topic last winter from one member over on AS! (actually, kinda still going on) He banned his EPA "POS" to the garage, said it may yet end up in scrap!
 
We get three or four of those every season.
 
safety gear is for wimps !!!!
sell your chaps and chainsaw helmet or better yet leave them for free by the road...
 
running straight ethanol in your saw is better for it..
 
bigger saws are just harder to hold, get a cheap electric one to heat the house...
