Go Navy!!!! Several of us here. What did you serve on and what was your rank/rating?
 
Hi Chandler - WOW, I'll say! From burning 7+ cords of wood over a winter's time in Maine to burning pellets in Kentucky! I'm very pleased with my stove, although the blower is a bit noisy. If it works well this winter and reduces my overall heating costs (electric & propane) significantly, I'll look to upgrade next year.
I joined this forum a short time ago to learn & I've certainly done that. it's been a great experience.
Cheers, Jon

I used to bury people. Burial vault installation and putting the casket in the vault and then putting the lid on. When things were slow I'd help load bodies into the crematory retorts. Now I'm just a stay-at-home dad to two babies.

That's my son's job now! His motto > 'I'll be the last one to ever let you down......'

I was a production supervisor, then production superintendent, then mechanical/electrical engineer, and finally Engineering Manager for Continental Can, bought out by Sonoco Products, bought out by Greif, Inc. Retired after 32 years. Uncle Sam trained me in nuclear power engineering and submarines and I spent many good, exciting times on a missile carrying nuke sub in the 60's.

Cool I'm working for Sonoco now. Sr manufacturing engineer for the plastics division.

It's SOnoco. Everyone gets that confused with the oil company. It stands for SOthern NOvelty COmpany. 'Novelties' are the cones used in knitting mills. That's how Sonoco got its start.
The plant you are talking about, I think, is in Mt. Sterling, Ky. Been there many times. Nice people. It's now owned by Greif, Inc., a company I went with when we were bought out by them.
