1. When neighbors look at my wood stacks and say……………………."Don't you have enough wood yet?" My answer; "That's a personal question, don't you think?":cool:2. If I had the time I'd cut, split, stack and burn wood like you…………………….quote from a retired person.3. Neighbor said, "There's no way you can heat your house with wood around here." My answer, "Wanna come in and feel the heat and see last years gas bills?"4. Neighbor saying………….."Don't let that wood sit too long or it'll rot."5. All quotes from the same neighbor!!!!!

You don't need a chimney brush you just need to light the other fire. Then call the Salmon River Rural Fire Dept. (True thing I get plenty of chimney fire calls)Oh I didn't know your party line was nailed to that tree? (Real thing back in the day they used old 1 wire party lines for the USFS look out towers)Oh don't worry about the chimney running horizontally along the ceiling. (The original builder of my house did this with the shop stove!)Can I barrow your chainsaw? (Answer is "Hell No!" with extra ice.)Can I barrow your truck? (Same as above)

Railroad ties are OK to burn.I use WD40 and a lighter to start my stove.

I have burned both but only if they are very old and dry but only one small piece at a time just to get the fire going initially, otherwise they get too hot too fast. I usually use them for outside bon fire material.

She's just starting to throw good heat when the stovepipe is cherry red:lmao:

I felt sorry for the "gas" man when he came to read the meter………..he took a "double-take" when he read it………..he looked so sad.I "season" my firewood with salt………….it dries it out faster.
