    Ok Woodburners, time to tell the truth. I have been on this site for awhile, and have read all kinds of reference to the effects of lighting the fire. Remember, this is about the effects of the hearth compared to the norm.

    To be fair, I have read many posts by women looking for woodburning advice, so this is gender non-specific.

    So, we all want to know. Tell the truth.

    Keep it rated "G".

    My wife says she is so much more.....comfortable... when the house is being heated with the wood stove. And the ambiance of the flames in a dim room. Reminesent of candle light!? Either way... It works in my favor. What a reward!!!!!!!!

    33 years married here - I don't think a fire will do it...

    But Webwidow gets all kind of excited when I build things and figure tough things out....must be that old instinctive "this caveman will build comfy cave for me and little ones, ugga-bugga" thing.

    The stove helps. If that fails, I just put on a tool belt and that does the trick everytime!

    She always likes it when I take my time and start slow and slowly build the heat. Before long she's moving right along and the room fills with with the pleasant sound of her warm breath cascading over my body. After awhile I can't take it any more and fill her completely before shutting things down for the night and going to bed.

    Oh.....you meant the wife. I was talking about my Summit insert. ;-P

    So you generally load your stove with a well seasoned hard wood correct?

    Burning increases the temperature in the room... which decreases the amount of clothing you need to wear... which in turn increases the temperature in the room... which decreases the amount of clothing you need to wear even further... which then increases the temper... well, you get it... looks like we've created a perpetual energy machine! (anyone with a mental image of the Energizer Bunny on their mind right now, please go take a cold shower.)

    Ahhh... the romance and joy of hearth burning... I can see the advertising tag-line now... Got Wood ??? :cheese:

    She loves you because where a lot of guys stop off at the bar on the way home, you stop off for more firewood.
