re: #177 thedopefishlives

This, right here, is why I haven’t actually used the fireplace in my current house. I’ve had to split a cord of wood. You definitely feel it afterwards.

My brother heats his home via a woodstove. He buys split wood, but also splits his own (about 1/2 of what he burns in a year.) Living on an acre or so of ash, hickory, maple, and a few oak generates sufficient dying trees to keep him supplied with stuff to cut down, saw up, dry, split and then burn. Not to mention an on-going supply of squirrels to annoy him.
