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

Ha ha I did this the other day walking with my wife and baby except I put the wood in the bottom of the stroller to bring it home.

you show a woman your wood on the first date. -- Thats funny

...people ask to see a picture of your children and you pull out your phone/iPad/wallet and flip past about 100 pictures consisting of your woodstacks, wood stoves, chainsaws, splitters, moisture meter, truck, chaps, trees you took down, funny neighborhood installations, lawnmower/ATV towing a trailer with firewood, other people's secondaries firing, jay's gf wearing pink carharts, and 14 different kinds of wood for ID purposes, and you finally find a picture of the kids to show them and it's a 3 year old picture of questionable quality.

P.s. I really do have a pic of Jay's girlfriend, because I thought those carharts were the coolest thing ever and I wanted to show them to Mrs. Danno, who wasn't interested (can you believe that? Why wouldn't a lady love to have some of those?!?!).

your anxiously watching the forcast, praying for a blast of cold so you can give your new stove a REAL test run...............................

LMAO !!

Have truck, will bring ice chests in the bed.

* Is very experienced with toting food around the North East going to horse shows, I got it down. Have BBQ, tables, etc, all is pretty much ready to rock & roll in the horse trailer. Trailer has an awning, too*

I pray daily this is the year my in-laws have the woods harvested. Dreams of white oak tops abound.

it's -4 outside and you decide that you should put shorts.

When a co-worked ask you how warm you keep your house in the winter and you say 80 deg.

The smell of smoke turns you on.

When the oil delivery man comes you laugh at him.

When you refer to Fall and Spring as shoulder seasons and know one knows what you are talking about.

Found this poem. Need I say more
LOGS TO BURN

Logs to burn, logs to burn,
Logs to save the coal a turn
Here's a word to make you wise,
When you hear the woodman's cries.
Never heed his usual tale,
That he has good logs for sale,
But read these lines and really learn,
the proper kind of logs to burn.

OAK logs will warm you well,
If they're old and dry.
LARCH logs of pine wood smell,
But the sparks will fly.
BEECH logs for Christmas time,
YEW logs heat well.
SCOTCH logs it is a crime,
For anyone to sell.

BIRCH logs will burn too fast,
CHESTNUT scarce at all
HAWTHORN logs are good to last,
If you cut them in the fall
HOLLY logs will burn like wax
You should burn them green
ELM logs like smouldering flax
No flame to be seen

PEAR logs and APPLE logs,
they will scent your room.
CHERRY logs across the dogs,
Smell like flowers in bloom
But ASH logs, all smooth and grey,
burn them green or old;
Buy up all that come your way,
They're worth their weight in gold.

You feel like you never have enough wood.

When remodeling the house you choose wood floors over carpet just in case a weather apocalypse hits, you'll have 2800 lbs. of dry Hickory beneath your feet.

You won't let the wife burn the GOOD STUFF until February.

That is just toooooooo funny.......

Yessir! (Stands up and salutes...) lol :lol:

You buy your children wooden toys for Christmas thinking they will outgrow them before the end of winter! and then you try to tell them that they are big boys now and they dont need their little toys anymore while you are thinking starter wood...

When you can say with total confidence that the person that posted below me could be certified as a pyromaniac if someone would just get him or her to the Doctor!

What's wrong with being a total pyromaniac?

Nothing at all!
Here is a box of matches. Go sit by the stove in the cement room and be nice.

When you figure out that if you stack some more wood over in that area it will mean less grass to mow. Yes! Now we can cut some more wood.

When your wife has more than once talked you out of starting a "Pet Crematorium".

Hahaha! I never thought of that... which is odd for me.

Which is exactly why I haven't been on here much in the last couple of days.......

3 trees fell over in the park behind our house, the neighbours tipped me off as they wanted to see how quickly I would rush out to drag them in ;-)

When you have plenty of wood to burn and you reload the stove way to soon , just because you can.
