You Know You Are A Real Wood Burner If...

When a friend mentions to your significant other he has been using his fireplace as supplimental heat and you immediately jump on craigslist looking for a good used insert and a liner for him, even though he didn't say he wanted one...

Or chuck norris turned evil and tries to steal your wood and you actually kick his oss

my non wood burner friends look at me like i got 5 heads!

When you have no non wood burner friends....

I think I've got some wannabe buddies. I do also have the ones that think I'm nuts.

When you see other guys with truckloads of rounds and you get jealous.

When you keep your saw,gas,bar oil,and maul in you truck so you can scrounge after work without having to stop home first and risk getting side tracked by the wife.

Guilty except I sidetrack myself !

When you go out in the middle of a hurricane to grab that big red oak before someone else does.

When you are driving around looking for a parking spot near the hospital because you need an emergency appendectomy and you consider stopping and picking up those perfectly sized silver maple rounds.(That was me last weekend.)

Totally agree, will add that you look close to see what kind of rounds they are.

How about when you have no friends?

I'd like that. I'm trying to plan something like that here.

Then you rely on hearth.com

Nice score......

When you see the big wood haulers drive by and think to yourself, "Self, he should go the other way.....toward MY house with that load".
Or, when you see one of those loads, you can tell what kind of wood it is. Then, you either dismiss it as not as good as the oak you just got, or it actually IS oak and want it.

...When you join Hearth.com just to reply to this thread (to say thanks for all the info I've gotten from here while a lurker)

...When it takes 3 tractors, 2 trucks, multiple trailers, and uncountable saws, plus a splitter with a 7" ram, just to have free heat

...When friends dump wood they find at your place, knowing you'll split and stack it, and give it back later as dry campfire wood.

...When you wonder if beer is deductible on your taxes as "heating expense".

Great site guys, I'll stop by from time to time and say Hi!

When you try to play jingle bells with your chainsaw.

Ooooooh, I hadn't thought of that.
Tomorrow's another day..........for chainsaw Jingle Bells.

No hard feelings 'cause he can't feel anything any more.
It's the twitching that's gettin' to him.
