    I just got signed up and approved to be a member of the club. I ran on to this forum this morning and knew
    this was for me. After a 27 year hiatus, I'm back to hoarding firewood. Right now I'm burning a fairly early version of the Warm Morning. . . .like sort of a pot-belly stove. It provides more than enough heat for my 1200 sq. ft. woodworking shop. Wow, does it gobble up the firewood. That's ok. Since I'm retired I have the time to
    tend it. I don't see any members from this far West, so maybe I'll be able to contribute something
    new. Blackfoot, Idaho is on the Eastern edge of the Snake River Plain at about 4500 ft. elevation. Our temperatures range from -25 to around 100 degrees. We have about 5 - 6 months of heating time. I find all of
    your posts very interesting. I hope I can contribute.

    Welcome! I was in your state last summer on a cross country trip. Beautiful land out there I thought. That is quite a temperature range for sure. Here we can get to 100 in the summer but -25 would be colder than I can remember here. Glad to have you!

    If you range from -25 to 100 you're in good company here.. Just disregard everyone from Ohio or Michigan because their highs are like 64 in July..lol..

    Welcome grandpachris.. Nice to have some more people from out west..
