    Been lurking for a while and thought I would join in on the action. A little about myself. I worked in the mining industry for 33 years. I love hunting, fishing, gardening and do a little trapping. Been married to my beautiful wife for 35 years. We don't keep a big hoard of wood around, just enough for the fire pit. Hope to make some new friends and enjoy this great site.

    Welcome Mook. Make sure you post pics in the game room of some of your kills. I'm an outdoors man myself. Big time hunter here. You'll fit in good here. These guys are great.

    Hey Mook , welcome aboard.
    What stove do you have, what kind of wood do you burn......all the usual questions. If you don't know what they are, don't worry, we do. :D

    Welcome to FHC, Mook. If it's wood related, you'll find it here. Sounds like you checked off all the boxes with liking hunting, fishing and trapping too. Now, if we can just convince you to get a woodburner for the house, we'll make a wood hoarder outta ya!

    Thanks for the warm welcome folks. When the wife and I married back in 1981 we had a King wood burner. I wish I still owned it...a great stove at the time. We burned...I'm guessing around 4 cords a winter. We purchased a new home in 1994 and we let the buyer keep the wood burner. I have a cord of crib ends split, stacked and seasoned for the fire pit at the moment. I have room for another cord but, it's been to hot to get out and cut. We were out riding our side by side the other day and found a nice beech and black birch down. Just waiting on cooler weather to go get it. Ashwatcher, we are from Boone County.

    Welcome to FHC Mook ... Glad that you finally decided to go ahead and be active here. Sounds like you'll fit right in. In the fall you'll see quite a few backyard burners threading up.

    Thanks TurboDiesel, I found the site searching the Net. If I remember right, I was looking at firewood pictures on a Google search and came across the site.
