    What's the process to "re hydrate" all of our now worthless dried firewood? :rofl: :lol:
    Surely this "engineer" must have some suggestions. :D

    If it's on the Internet, it has to be true... I watch YT video's all the time for entertainment and not much else actually. Sure are a lot of idiots posting video's on there.

    He must be related to the guy down the street from me, who is currently bucking and splitting wood to burn this winter.
