    Spot on Dennis.

    Skimmed it and it is very vague article.

    It should only have one sentence:

    "Join FHC for everything you need to know about firewood."

    It was posted by Alliance For Green Heat. Article looks like it was from April 14.

    The woke is writing firewood article’s? I must be lucky to never have gotten E.coli or other bacteria from my firewood. I am glad to know that hauled wood is cheaper than bought wood and piled wood is cheaper still.

    Thanks for this morning’s entertainment Dennis.

    Advantages of using firewood for camping. As opposed to the other options of burning trash, furniture or horsechit?

    Huh?! E.coli in firewood? Wtf?????

    Here's the thing that'll get you one for realize it. That article wasn't written by a human being. Seriously. That's AI , a bit per say writing that.

    Scary stuff, and that's how you get all of this misinformation.

    That article has more contradictions than the politics we see going on today.. Why would someone so stupid on a subject put it out there for all the public to read.

    I almost stopped when I read -
    "What is firewood made of?
    Firewood used to be cut from living trees. This was done because green wood burns easier than dry wood, and it heats faster."

    But I read the whole thing. It indeed was difficult to read and comprehend.

    I've moved on. :salute:

    Just looking at the comments here I don’t even want to bother reading it. And people wonder why faith in journalism is at an all time low.

    That's really poor "quality control" on their part...disappointing from them for sure...this article reminds me of something written by a 3rd or 4th grader...actually that's not true, the grade schooler would have had more facts right.
