You Know You Are A Real Wood Burner When...

[BrotherBart]

Everybody is lighting up so it is time for my annual thread. I'll start it off.

You know you are a real wood burner when you comment at a wine tasting that the Chardonnay is oakey with just a hint of creosote.

 

[bluefrier]

when you compare your newborn to an 18" split.

 

[Rockey]

You print pictures of woodstacks at work and try to burn them that evening.

 

[pen]

When you wear pants in the summer and shorts in the winter!

 

[Chettt]

When you bring a moisture meter to the para-olympics.

when you compare your newborn to an 18" split.

Congrats on your new 18' split/new born.



You are a real world woodburner when your 5 year old asks why the oil delivery truck never stops at our house.

 

[woodburn]

So far the winner is...........bluefrier! Comparing your kid to a log? That's hardcore. I like it!

 

[hilly]

When you are at work, emailing a stranger who lives across the country, instructions on how to get the cleanest burn out the wood stove type you both have.

 

[BJ64]

When you talk about the stove all winter and your chainsaw the rest of the time.

 

[BJ64]

When you bring a moisture meter to the para-olympics.

That almost qualifies as EVIL But funny!

 

[daveswoodhauler]

When you are standing as the bus stop with your 6 year old. And your child says, "Daddy, why do you always look at the woodpile? You should be looking for the bus..I can't miss the bus"

or....when your six year old needs a show and tell item that starts with "w" to bring in to school, and your wife says " you cant put a huge log in his backpack "

 

[Diabel]

When you dream that your stove is running on plutonium....more than once!

 

[glassmanjpf]

You open up your cell phone and there is a video of your wood burning stove.

When your neighbor stops by and asks,

"Do you have a bad back or something? I saw your wife splitting wood today while you were at work." :lol:

 

[cruzer]

your mother-in-law calls to tell you about the free wood she saw on the side of the road that you should pickup. (guess she wants the grandkids to be warm this winter...)

 

[sl7vk]

You know that you're a woodburner when you learn every species of tree..... and judge them on how well they burn.......

And when you're wife catches you checking out your neighbors oak..... man that sucker could give me two cords....

 

[cmonSTART]

You're CONSTANTLY checking you chimney to see how the burn is progressing.

 

[agz124]

Your wife makes you a birthday card and draws pictures of things you love.....wood stove and log rack!

 

[Diabel]

When it's 65* outside (freaky weather) but you keep walking by the stove & checking the temps.....& not knowing what to do with yourself %-P

When your neighbor stops by and asks,

"Do you have a bad back or something? I saw your wife splitting wood today while you were at work." :lol:

My vote so far is for Cannonball.....I think we need some vids of the wifes splitting/stacking wood

 

[lazeedan]

when it's November and you are disapointed by 70 degree days.

 

[Dix]

My vote so far is for Cannonball.....I think we need some vids of the wifes splitting/stacking wood

Well, then, I'd like to see pics & vids of Hubbys/SO's/masculine guys splitting/stacking wood.

It's only fair %-P

[Shipper50]

You know your a wood burner when you pull splinters out of your hand and use them for fire starter. :roll:

[RedRanger]

You keep checking the thermomoter outside and the thermostat inside hoping both readings are low enough to "fire it up".
