    So far.........................I've started just 6 fires in my stove since Oct. 1!!!!! And none of them were "sustained" fires................just to take the "chill" from the house. Here it is Nov. 3; and the forecast is for another 2.5 days of 70*F+............followed by a bunch of 50+*F+......................

    What's a pyro to do...............

    I think everyone is going thru this warm spell. I guess more wood for next year and more time for us to get ahead...enjoy it while you can

    I was telling Backwoods Savage today that I could smell wild leeks when I was cutting in the woods so I brushed back some leaves on the ground, they were starting to sprout.

    We were cold enough in October that we've burned two face cord or .62 of a cord of Hemlock & Pine.

    Omg I LOVE ramps aka wild leeks. I brought some home from WV this Spring and transplanted them to a woodsy part of my yard where the trillium grows. They must like it, because the flowered and set seed! Hopefully in a few years I will have a nice patch.
    I am curing my itch to burn by BBQing, smoking a brisket right now with some cherry wood. Mmmmm....
