Man oh Man: here on Southern Van. Isle it`s been 40f or 25f for the past 2 weeks. Dam`n cold for around here. And tonight and tomorrow night we get -4 and -5C. Ain`t that wood heat sweet though,heh? Can`t be much different in Wash.State me wouldn`t think. Read your thoughts about all that nice hardwood laying about in the Eastern States. Hey, we still get bargains here. last March I scored 5 full cords of Western Red Cedar for $250 :lol: And hey, that was when our dollar was only worth 95cents US-lol.Now that I have some of that good stuff, maybe caution people, specially the newbies to burn that dry stuff with caution. Take care my friend, and hey, Love This Forum--been using wood heat for 35 years-and probably no surprise to you-still learning..Age Doesn`t Always Make Us Wiser,Just Makes Us Read More To Hopefully Become Wiser.....AND STAY SAFE!!
