I guess I'm the first...

Got some Silver Maple and BL going and the wife put the tree up and it was snowing so, ummm....a little early but, Happy Thanksgiving...with a small stove took me a while to notice that big splits work fine but smaller splits seem to work better and last just as long with quicker secondaries....(that's the Gecko chillin' on the right)

Hah! You're not the first. You just never took down all of last years stuff.

A beautiful job, Albert. Cheers!

Is that a live tree?

No, not live...she does a good job with it, looks as good with the lights off...

Happy Thanksgiving too. The smaller splits are also easier to handle.
My Dad will soon be 80 and we split his wood a little smaller. Seasons quicker and he can handle it easier and can control his fire easier.

It looks nice. My wife want to put a live tree in the stove room and I am concerned about the temp and dryness vs. the tree.

Live trees are great for the look, smell, and tradition, but fake trees are so realistic looking these days that it's not worth the trouble of a live tree most times. This is especially true with the fake trees that have easy assembly and lights already strung. Maybe when I retire I'll have more time for a live tree.
