wood spliter said:I'm with you, I will make fires till I need no more heat. Last year I think we had a cold wet spring.ansehnlich1 said:I'm here in south Pennsylvania, had an old timer for a neighbor years ago, he burned wood to heat his cabin, he said to me one morning "cheezus cripes, had to make fire in JUNE"
I've never forgotten that statement, and indeed, I KNOW I'll be makin' fire in April, some mornings in May, and maybe even in June to take the chill off!
I'm a veteran burner, coal first, now wood, and I'm not anywhere close to being ready to shut down for the summer.
I just ordered my first woodburning fireplace insert. Its a Jotul Rockland 550. Its for my home in Long Island. I have a vacation home in the catskills and have an Enviro Pellet stove there. Thats where I got the bug to have something at home, and wood is just more available in Long Island than Pellets.
