Well I know there certainly are more than 2 over 66 and more than 5 in the over 60 age bracket.

El wrongo, calculator breath! Your average age is (1+2+3+... 62)/62 = 31. Feel younger now?

When it comes to being smart a$$, I'm afraid you're bringing a knife to a gun fight, good sir.

EDIT: Well, at least when it comes to being an a$$...

You must have been a hedge fund manager.

Number of people = 1

Total age of the people = 62

Average age of the people = (62/1) = 62

Yes, I would like fries with that.

Knife wounds = 1
Gunshot wounds = 0

Uhh, average age of wood burners that spend too much time on internet/wood forum. :zip:
 
Actual age: 40

Age I feel like after working all day on wood: 85

Age I feel like when I'm sitting in front of a warm fire and my wife is wearing next to nothing because of the heat: 18
 
54 Today and looking forward to, and planning a way out of, playing caveman anymore.

(Calculator Breath? hehehehe)
 
4th year burning for me and I am 37 now.
 
42 here.

As for older burners, got my dad, who just turned 70, into wood burning 5 years ago. He pretty much cuts and splits all by hand. Funny thing he was one who never really liked the heat, I would usually dress warm to go there before the stove, now i go over and his house is usually in the mid 70s... lol
 
42 and been burning for a bunch of them. I didn't come from a wood burning house hold, but the shop was heated with wood. Been heating my own home for many years. Not sure how many at this point.

Happy B-day Kenny!

Can you share the math that you used? I want to double-check my figures.

Not may of us old timers in this poll. Either the demographics have changed or many old guys don't do polls.

Many older women shouldn't either.
If my wife is typical, I figured all women did polls. She's always on me about some poll in a magazine but I'm afraid I might get trapped into giving the wrong answer so I won't participate.
 
52. I got about seven cords stacked - all hand split.
I love cutting, bucking and splitting almost as much as watching the fire in my living room.
Good for the body and the mind.
 
44 next month. And Jags- thanks for that- just stuck a fork in my mental eyeballs. :coolgrin:
 
You'd say 40, I'd say 29 for the 12th time.

I burned when I was a kid from maybe 10-16, then started again at about 32 to 40, so ((sum i=10->16(i)+ sum j=32->40(j))/(count i +count j))

My average age is 96.
 
33 years old, here.

3rd year with a wood stove, though.
 
Well I am 28 and have been burning for 3 years. My papaw burned wood all his life and I remember dad burning on and off a lot when i was growing up.
 
37 - first full year burning wood in my house, but, grew up in a wood burning house. Cheers!
 
Will be 54 on Jan. 2, had this stove for ~23 years..
