My wife had a question of me that I couldn't answer so I'm posting it here?

What do WE call ourselves? I tried to answer her but couldn't come up with a good reply. I speaking of the "average" user here. I didn't think lumberjack nearly applied as it's not my full time profession. Woodsman was a possibility, but that to me means I have an in depth knowledge of the woods and can live off it. Stover and burner sounded too odd and menacing respectively. So what is it guys? If there is a name for us, what is it? And if there isn't what should it be?
 
Woodies.











JK, I got no idea.
 
LOL. I've used the "I've got wood" comment and reference to "my poker" so many times she just ignores me. Odd huh?
 
If you also garden and preserve, you're pretty near agrarian. More specifically feuermeister, pyrophiliac, redneck, independent
 
We're just good people who happen to like burning wood.
 
I don't think I need a name, just a person/family who stays warm by burning wood.
 
Firebugs with time on their hands
 
I dunno. The neighbors refer to me as "Eileen. You know, the one with alot of firewood in her yard", how ever :coolsmile:
 
I just like setting fires. To clarify ones that help me save some money & keep warm in winter.

My neighbors call me the old hermit up there that burns wood.

Until the power goes out for a few days.

Yeah, wood burners is as good as any if a collective handle is needed.

Sure . . . you say you just like the ones that help save you money and keep you warm in the winter . . . but we know the truth . . . and don't worry . . . we have a very special program for you here at the fire house. ;) :)

Oh yeah . . . I call myself a Wood Burner or Home Owner Who Burns Wood.
 
This is the second oldest profession, started in caves , progressed to man caves,men providing their families with heat,meat and wheat. I guess we are pyrostitutes.
