    I do plan on adding some photos to the text before it gets published to amazon, I am open to submissions. Keep in mind that I may personally profit from this once it is published, I am trying to get a few work out there and maybe think about the writing career dream I abandoned so long ago.

    Nothing wrong with pursuing your dreams. As long as they include Pine. :)

    Right where I want to be.
    Adam, I'd be happy to help if it's still needed.
    Sounds like you're off to a good start.

    Right good point you want real wood to illustrate what you should be burning. Oak or maple would make more sense lol.

    Do you need anyone to check it and recommend changes to reflect The King's English.

    Me for checking and recommending changes to The King's English. I have not read it yet, but would like to. Plus I could add diet in there, after all any wood burner must have the proper fuel for energy to get the job done and keep the proper figure.

    Got a lot more good notes from Ray that I am weaving in. raybonz you have been a real help here and while I'm not going to use every suggestion as proposed, several of them will be used in a place different than originally suggested. Ray, I would like to keep you "on the payroll" for future projects!

    No problem Adam.. I did add and\or change quite a bit.. Try to keep it short and sweet yet maintain content.. Did I mention I took freshman English at a local college and scored 4.0? The teacher liked my work so much that she asked permission to use my work as student examples.. Not blowing my own horn this really happened and I was both shocked and flattered..

    Sounds similar to my college experience. I'm getting to the point now where I feel I need to use it or lose it, I am rusty to say the least.

    Raybonz. You didn't need to tell us that. We already know you. And your wife just mentioned it on that social website right after she posted a picture of you showing your modesty.
