When the gas meter reader walks away shaking his head.

When you hear grandma walking through the door telling the wife " I hope he has that wood burning thingy going"

When you read all 102 posts!!

When your son and his girlfriend are forced to take prom photos in front of your wood piles because you have taken over the whole backyard.

When you notice your new neighbor is using his fireplace often but has no wood stacks like you do

When your friends ask what's with the taser and it's just your moisture meter

When your friend who burns wood also is willing to come to your house and keep a fire going while you go to Florida for four days. (True story)

When your neighbor asks you, "When is it ever going to be enough firewood??" [Answer: never]

I tell them that I'll have enough firewood just after I have enough money.

When you don't care if that tree that fell in the forest made any noise. You just want to know where it is and is there access!

You find the "Spill Response Team" in your yard because the oil truck driver "knew" the tank couldn't still be full.

You can't help but chuckling when you walk by the "woodstoves" and at home depot....

Sorry man, no offence meant, I deleted the post....

no worries FW we're kinda proud of the products we put out.

I took "woodstoves" with quotes to mean the electric "woodstoves". The HD near us does not carry actual wood stoves. They are special order on the web only.

 

[stoveguy2esw]

didnt think about it that way, the "faux" woodstoves are not my products. wasnt being malicious about it anyway.

All the home depots around here sell these little tin jobs that likely weigh about 100-150 lbs,....there's the odd half decent looking stove but they are few and far between.
You're more than justified in standing up for something you believe in......didn't take it as malicious at all!
The fact that you have enough pride to stand up for your product is proof enough for me that you build a good product.

It was my big mouth that started the trouble in the first place!
Cheers....good group of people here

Now that I've caused a thread high-jacking with my stupid home depot comment, let me see if I can get back on track:

- You have signage on your woodshed to help you organize your splits
- Your woodshed looks better than your real shed
- You can identify a wood species by the look and/or taste of the saw dust

You can talk about your wet wood in public without getting slapped.

 

[Fort Wisers]

Wood burning has become a "lifestyle choice" and not merely something you do in the winter to keep the house warm.

 

[stoveguy2esw]

you spread your knowledge of woodburning to those who ask (and those who may not ask)

responsible wood burners educate themselves as much as they do others
