My wife does this. Usually when we get a cold snap. She will ask me if I am cold at work.

Don't care how much wood I burn. I start talking "wet wood" around here, I'm getting slapped. Maybe it's just the smirk?
An 82 year old man comes to the office asking for Viagra and offers you a mulberry tree he just cut down, commenting "you give me wood, I give you wood". Kind of scary for my first post, but it really happened. Hope I dont get kicked off. Been hanging around as a guest for 6-7 years. Been burning for 25 years. I just had to join when this topic came up to share my story. I promise I'll be more appropriate in the future. Not much time to post and keyboard poorly

I think this has to be a common thing for wives to do, as mine has done the same thing.
When you rent a house for TG week and you clean the air intakes on the insert and re-stack their wood pile.
When your TG guests arrive and you tell the how the dampness in the wood stove on the first day of your stay prevented you from getting good secondary action.
When you sit with your chair pointed toward the fire and all the others chairs are pointed toward the surf.

You can't help but take a picture of something like this.........and then "accidently" include it in the family pictures.

When you wear a jacket in the office since it is way too cold for you.
When you re-stack your neighbor's woodpile that has toppled over . . . while he is away.
When you clean the gunked up glass on your friend's woodstove since you cannot see the flames.

When you go outside and can smell the stove exhaust and know how well the fire is burning w/o looking.
When someone mentions Frankie Avalon (this happens all the time, right?) and the name reminds you of a stove.

When your furnace hasn't kicked on at all for several years......because you killed the power and fuel to it.

When the almost empty tote box of Christmas decorations ends up in line of the path for bringing firewood into the house, and you look at it and think to yourself "damn, I could pack 4 - loads into that puppy, with out a doubt".

When your in-laws are over watching the kids and add wood to the stove: "Where's the poker?" asks uncle; to which my son answers: "Daddy just uses his hand, he's tough"!
Made me laugh when I got home!

You know you are a real wood burner when the neighbors stop on the road to look at your wood Pile(s)!
You know you are a real wood burner when you say good night to your wood stove!!

You know you are a real wood burner when you don't bother looking at the stove, but step outside and look at the chimney to see how well the stove is burning.

You are a real woodburner when you continue to enjoy the heat of your labor. Also, when you can RELAX and watch your money burn !
