Dark and stormy works better especially when it ends with sitting in front of that stove....

Once upon a time???

well if it only happens "once" its not going to be very popular.

the title im searching for will be "approximately"

"so you want to heat with a woodstove?" I really want to pose the title as a question in a way because its not a "snap decision" to convert to wood, its a life style change. a rewarding one , but still one that takes folks from the "gadget on the wall' to responsible safe wood burning.

the idea is to capture those who are thinking about wood heat and are in need of knowing what lies ahead. and to educate those who are wanting to "take the plunge" into the wood burning lifestyle.

all of us who made that decision had to start somewhere, my goal is to provide as much education as I can pack into a book to help those who want to "go there" to "get there"

nothing sexier than a crackling fire and a bottle of wine but im tooo old and toooo married for such things, I just want folks to be safe and successful in woodburning.

ive said before "the warm heart of a family is the warm hearth" a woodstove in the house provides a focal point just as families in the past generations would gather by the fire for both comfort of the warmth of the fire as well as the warmth of just being a family. its truly a lifestyle that brings families closer in many ways.

Mike I have no reason to believe that you will do anything but true justice to the subject.
Feel free to use my saying : cast is for wood stoves plate steel is for snow plows.
<this is where I duck and run>

"As I watched the flames in the stove I thought back on all that Frank had done to me. And for me. And even now he was keeping me warm."

I was thinking more along the lines of the last walk of the night with the dog in -40 or snowing like crazy. Fire feels pretty good then Need a photo of a pet's best friend? We have minor battles over who gets the best spot...

Twas the night before Winter and all thru the house wood was stashed for a long winters bout.
I in my jammies and stove gloves put on, I was starting a fire for all to admire.
But to my water eyes did appear but a puff of smoke and cold can of beer.
Ask I woke from sleep to my wife saying bleep bleep, I realized I was dreaming , and had to go wee wee pee pee.

"in the beginning"

as long as we are thinking about a classic opening line.

In the Beginning man learned fire and said "This was good"

later, man made the stove , and said "this is better"

then, treehugger saw this and said "this is bad!"

upon hearing of this , the governemnt said 'yes that is bad, we need to fix this" and in their wisdom crafted a tool known as "phase 2"

and the treehuggers rejoiced with much dancing and festivities.


ok thats far enough , im just having a bit of fun but dont wish to derail the thread
