When your friends ask what's with the taser and it's just your moisture meter
 
When your friend who burns wood also is willing to come to your house and keep a fire going while you go to Florida for four days. (True story)

I tell them that I'll have enough firewood just after I have enough money.

When you don't care if that tree that fell in the forest made any noise. You just want to know where it is and is there access!

"I just replaced a Fisher Papa Bear with a brand new EPA stove and man does that new stove pump out some heat."
 
You find the "Spill Response Team" in your yard because the oil truck driver "knew" the tank couldn't still be full.

and what kind of wood it was. :)
 
:mad: easy now, i build those stoves

I took "woodstoves" with quotes to mean the electric "woodstoves". The HD near us does not carry actual wood stoves. They are special order on the web only.

didnt think about it that way, the "faux" woodstoves are not my products. wasnt being malicious about it anyway.

All the home depots around here sell these little tin jobs that likely weigh about 100-150 lbs,....there's the odd half decent looking stove but they are few and far between.
You're more than justified in standing up for something you believe in......didn't take it as malicious at all!
The fact that you have enough pride to stand up for your product is proof enough for me that you build a good product.

It was my big mouth that started the trouble in the first place! ;em
Cheers....good group of people here:)

Now that I've caused a thread high-jacking with my stupid home depot comment, let me see if I can get back on track:

- You have signage on your woodshed to help you organize your splits
- Your woodshed looks better than your real shed
- You can identify a wood species by the look and/or taste of the saw dust
 
You can talk about your wet wood in public without getting slapped.
 
Wood burning has become a "lifestyle choice" and not merely something you do in the winter to keep the house warm.
