Fear not! My wife was a little less than enthusiastic at first also, then the propain bill was cut by 3/4, & she started "warming" up to the wood heat idea. When she found the house "comfortable" enough to wear a tank top & shorts in January, she asked me if I thought we had enough wood for the whole winter. Now she can identify red & white oak by color & grain only, loves the smell of cherry, & wears my Stihl t shirt more than I do. Not bad for a "city girl" that only knew how to turn up the thermostat a few years back. A CActually it is probably best that I do not tell my wife that I am posting pictures of firewood because she does not share my enthusiasm.
