When you get so aggravated your head could just EXPLODE trying to explain to your friend why NOT to burn green wood and he just ignores you. Not to mention he thinks you're a nutcase for waiting 3 years to burn your wood !

And he doesnt believe you heat the same size home with about a third of the wood he burns(or smolders).
 
You have to explain your address...then they say " Oh,The house with all the wood!

It amazes me how many people want you to give them some of your hard earned seasoned splits "cause you have so much stacked". It was great, had a new neighbor who had proven he was an A**( by the way he treated 70 yr old former owner). Ask that once.
I smiled broadly and said not to you!
He owned the house less than 6 months!

I just tell them NO it's not ready yet. And when it is ready it'll be just enough to get ME throuigh the winter.

when you realize that your truck has hauled over a million lbs of wood home.!!!

No wonder it needs some fixing!

You know your a woodburner , when you watch your stove secondaries burning , more than you watch TV.......
 
Someone has lost a cottonwood round on I-35 in downtown Dallas @ 5:00pm and you stop your pickup and run across 5 lanes of traffic to get it.
 
Your wife indicates that she's feeling a little frisky and heads down the hall and you show up in your saw chaps.

When the first thing you do in the New Year is log on to Hearth.com
I logged on as soon as I brought another truck load home from my yard where I split on new years day
 
The car pretty easily drives through several inches of snow. It's hard to pull a couple hundred pounds of wood through the same snow in a wagon.
 
It's 95F outside and you're talking to the gang about wood heat:cool:

Sorry, I had to post this.........
 
Your working on 3rd year wood when it's 98° outside and 70% humidity and loving every minute of it
 
....you're alternating between building a new hearth and checking hearth.com forum for the latest post....ever 10 minutes.....

When it's 98* and are actually burning wood to heat your DHW ;ex
 
You get really really excited about your local forester dropping off a load of log length wood, and everyone replies: "being a forester is a real thing?!?"

When your wife gets mad at you thinking you are watching porn on the computer when you are on www.hearth.com
 
When in a 90 degree weather you are building a fire pit so you can safely burn wood in summer.
 
When you don't get mad seeing an oil deliver truck on your street.

When you smile at high prices of heating oil.

When in winter everybody at work is sick of hearing how hot it was inside your house last evening.

When in fall, winter you are excited about dropping temperature outside.
