Awesome having you. A few rules though: 1. Do NOT mention the word "thong" around Eric VW 2. Always remember to wipe your feet before entering FHC. 3. Stack your wood off the ground...after all there are cold children in Alaska. 4. If the question arises about whether you split horizontally or vertically, answer "yes", then start discussing the weather to distract them. 5. All information given by schlot is either pure wisdom or complete dog poo...chose wisely.
Welcome to the forum Mook As you can see we have a few crazies on this forum but they are all good guys. But don't believe schlot. When splitting wood, it must be vertically. After all, that is how the tree grows which means it is God's way. So stay away from horizontal splitting. Hope you can get another wood stove. Heating with wood is really great and we love being warm all winter and not breaking the bank to do it. btw, we keep our house at 80 degrees all winter! Love it.
No. Actually clemsonfor owns this debacle, I just happened to repeat the oft autocorrect-challenged Clem one slight, little time.... The rest they say, is history.
Welcome Mook glad you found your way here, no matter what the path was. I'm here to dispel the myth that some members are nuts or crazy.........I'm tellin' ya it just ain't so......nothing but straight shooters, nope no Tom Foolery around here....
And Backwoods Savage is an infinite source of wisdom for all things wood, except how to split it-I don't understand it but time and again, just when I am convinced Paul Bunyon was a distant fifth cousin thrice removed to the Savage, somebody mentions a milk crate and a cushion...
