Oh yeah, that is what my avatar pic is... A fatwood torch!
I always burn in fire pits and also cook with the wood on the grill. I started my firewood obsession via bushcrafting. I became obsessed with...
Haha, I am out front sitting on my pile of dead Maple as I type this. Lately I have been sharing my hoard. I get a dumper dropped on my driveway,...
We didn't use it often. With a new wick it wasn't too bad. Just stunk if I let it burn out, most times I turned it off and carried it outside...
Lol, yup. Have a half a cord of dry ash put up on my deck out of the weather. After I rearrange the stacks I will have more top covered.
There have been a couple Woodstock soapstone stoves on CL in my area. I like the idea of a softer heat, if that makes sense. This past Winter, or...
And for those who wonder where I disappear to, this keeps me kinda busy now. After spending almost two years being lumberjack-errific I figured I...
Here are some pics of SOME of my stacks. There is wood everywhere. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside thinking about burning all of it...

My cure all is eat organic pasture raised food, avoid ALL inorganic grains but a small amount of organic is fine, and cannabis. Most modern...
We have a healthy population of Hawks. I kept thinking they were after my chickens, but after a hawk flew by me with a rodent squeaking I was...
I have about 3/4 cord of Spruce rounds out front in need of splitting. I have read that it is excellent wood to use in a wood fired kitchen...
Birch is very porous. In Scandinavia they give kids cut birch limbs dipped in soapy water, and they blow bubbles through the birch wood fibers!...
My driveway is crammed full of ash rounds and chips. Got another full dumper dropped off last Saturday of more ash rounds. Though I do love my...
Dead pine is my favorite! I chop out the pine knots at the base of the branches. Standing dead collects the most fatwood, the stump and roots just...
