LOL. That was well done. I have to be careful or I can get like that.

On the other hand, there's probably a small, well-off segment of the population that would pay for firewood washed in the tears of virgins and cured in the sun of the French Riviera.

YIKES! And I thought my OCD was BAD! Though at the price he was selling it for we could all be MILLIONARES!

 

[Batman]

That's awesome! Thanks for posting that.

 

[bboulier]

Extraordinarily funny. I was going post this myself, but figured someone would have beat me to it.

PT Barnum understood this business model

Hilarious. The ginger rub is the best.

Guy prob sleeps next to a log with a massive stiffy

Is this a serious business?!?!? I bet this guy only sells his wood at Whole Foods in little bundles tied with pure persian angora fur with a nice piece of arugula for a garnish.

I nearly a sh*t myself when I saw the ginger rub. Does he sell lignum vitae rubbed with foie gras?

THAT WAS LODGEPOLE PINE!!

You mean I have been doing it all wrong. Well now I guess an old dog will have to learn some new tricks.

That was a pretty good spoof on firewood fanatics. That is not us is it?.

When they said to season the wood I didn't know they meant with salt and pepper!

Pretty hilarious. I thought it might actually be for real especially after a few searches got results for "Smoke & Flame" firewood company. I love the hand-trimming with the scissors. Makes me wonder, those $5 - $6 little bundles they do sell at gas stations and grocery stores...what does that come out to per cord?

$1 or more per split. Sheesh. One starting point, with built in assumptions: 1 cord of dry splits is 5000lbs. Each split weighs 3lbs. Each costs $1. If I did the maths right, that's $1666.67/cord.

Yikes!

 

[Ashful]

Nah... 0.9 cu.ft. per bundle, so you're looking at $711 per cord, at $5 per bundle.

I musta been using artisinal bundles for my calculations.

You do have to add in the cost of wrapping paper and bows.

 

[hardwaregrrl]

And here's one from a guy in my neighborhood....oh yeah he wants 200 for a cord.

 

[Ashful]

Isn't all firewood local? Not legal to import it, without kiln drying it, most places.

I hope you guys realize that "This is That" is a CBC radio comedy show where they take a strange topic and appear to treat it seriously like the army trading jeeps for bicycles, opening up tropical resorts on James Bay thanks to global warming, etc. This is all comedy.

 

[jb6l6gc]

I thought it was real you never know these days

 

[hardwaregrrl]

Yep, totally aware of the hipster/jokester movement. My guy is half for real.

 

[2broke2ride]
