Been there!

But I'll add, "... and after said helper cuts off his finger before lunch, you spend four hours in the ER planning how you're going to split the last three cords when you get home that evening."

Now I know the trick for seasoning wood quickly, Wood Pickeled In Brew! Man I love this site I always learn something


Hmmmm.....nope, I'll save my beer for drinking! Or.... Oak infused ale. Could work!
 
It's the new craze instead of oak barrel aged beer it's black lager aged oak ! Smells good and you can put the ashes in water an drink the beer afterwords !
