Passed on the bug

Pretty bad when he’s turning down seasoned black locust for green poplar! At least he’s not eager to take your seasoned, worked hard for firewood. Hopefully he’ll At least catch on to preparing for the next burning season.

 

Haven’t met someone who regrets the decision to heat with wood Yet!

 

Might i suggest "Haftacuts Brother" as his user name???

 

Thanks Brad! I haven’t been as regular as I’d like or should be this fall on the forum....priorities, right? I’m happy to hoard as often as he would like. I’ll be happy if he can just put away what he needs for the next burning season! He’s not afraid of hard work, just a matter of prioritizing time.

 

Talk about being committed! I know part of my brother jumping on board is because I have all the stuff for procuring the firewood. He has a ms170, a 1/2 ton dodge truck, and a splitting maul. I’m happy to have him benefit from the stuff I have and happy to share what works well for me. It would be a lot harder for him to start if he were in the same bot you were when you started The Wood Wolverine

 

They have pills for that!

Sorry i couldnt resist! Gotta be careful how you words things on here as ive learned the hard way!

Great to see you again and as always enjoy your posts!

 

I knew there was an answer for my problem! Thanks for keeping me on my toes

 

.
I find a little gasoline helps with wet wood.

 

I'm amazed at how resistant some people are to straightforward reason.

 

Thats frustrating for sure.

Maybe load him up with good stuff to let him see how much better it works

 

I stopped in at the store I go to on the way to work the other day and when reaching in my pocket to pay I dropped a coin on the floor and it rolled under a display stand. If it's a nickel or dime I'll usually just leave it.
I steeped back and saw it was a quarter and blurted out to the guy behind the counter, "Oh, it's a quarter. I'll bend over for a quarter!"
Then I said, " let me correct myself, I'll pick up a quarter!"

 

My laugh for the evening!

 

I did bring him sum seasoned wood before Christmas he burned rite threw it I thought that would have showed him but evidently it didn’t

 

Might wanna watch that...might actually burn hot enough to get all that creosote in the chimney hot enough to light off!

Probably didn't adjust the air on the stove any differently, so it just blew all the extra extra heat up the chimney...then he thought "see, that dry wood just burns up too quick!"
