I went outside tonight and saw big clouds of smoke around and it smelled and looked like someone's house was on fire, but it turns out it was just the idiot that lives 4 homes down once again trying to burn unseasoned Pine in a firepit. He tried this last year and doesn't get the point that if you would actually split the rounds and let them lay around in the sun and wind you might have better success with it, but he thinks you can just throw huge pieces of Pine on there in big round form and it'll be fine. When he coudn't get it going, he started his leaf blower and was trying to fan the fire by using that, and his dog was very near the fire and actually got up and moved away. And I can tell that this guy isn't going to be one that I could talk to and try to convert to using dry or even semi-dry wood, just can tell he wouldn't be interested in listening and would probably give me an attitude. So if you are behind in getting your wood in this Fall/Winter don't worry, just bring your leaf blower in and crank 'er up!
