firewood

[Pete]

Fireplaces are great, except for those that are gas fueled. What's the fun of simply opening the valve and putting a match to it? Too easy. I like building and starting the fire myself.   

I completely agree.  My house has the gas insert thing (was there when I bought it), and it was clearly put in well after the house was originally built.  Sucks.

When I was growing up our families main source of heat was a huge wood burning furnace in the basement. I have sort of fond memories of listening to the Chiefs with my Dad when we went out to cut wood on Sunday afternoons, but I hated coming home and unloading it, then loading it through a tiny window into our basement. As a result I would never have a wood burning device in my house for any reason.

Landlord says I can't use my fireplace, so the pakhead hangs out in front of it. He's wearing Dr. Jack's hat right now.

LOL. Should have known that rick would be starting a firewood thread to ask someone to give it to him rather than do the work himself. What a lazy piece of crap.

I like imagining you growing up in the depression and wearing a newsies cap and suspenders and stuff.

I love fire and firewood and fireplaces and campfires and bonfires and the way your favorite old hoodie smells after you've been sitting around a bonfire for a few hours

mhDad has a hardwood pellet stove in his basement. high school metalhead used to have to carry an entire ton of pellets, split up into forty pound bags, down to the basement every fall. high school metalhead did not like it.
