You Know You Are A Real Wood Burner If...

[ditchrider]

You know you are a woodburner if...

Your log splitter runs on a big-block chevy.

3304 Cat. 24 inch eight way wedge. And an elevator to pile it all up. Ooh ooh ooh. I love to dream
Sorry Sav, but I gotta say I could do that on the horizontal if I had to.

You have an ash and an oak tree at the far end of your property from Sandy, spend 6 hours building a ramp over an old stone fence so your neighbors kid can pull your splitter to the site with his 4-wheeler cuz its too heavy for an old guy to carry in rounds and your thinking this project should be completed by march.

I've yet to figure out how wives became involved in Mother's Day anyhow. Unless you live in the DEEEEEEPPPPP South I'm pretty sure marrying your Mom isn't common!

Well, maybe if your wife isn't a mother... then maybe she wants to BECOME a mother. In that case, should you really be scrounging wood on Mother's Day? Hmmmm? Sometimes it's just a matter of priorities.

And if your wife IS a mother... and you gave her children like the children I gave my wife... well, let's just say I have a debt to pay. Aaaannnnd she deserves more than one special day in the year.

When you would much rather have a woodpile in your driveway then be able to park your vehicle there.

When you have a second driveway that only gets used as a dumping area for said wood

When the smell of two cycle fumes is your cologne of choice.

...you step out back at your sons first birthday party to show your stacks and your wife knows that there is no way to stop you.

Chainsaw exhaust mixed with a little woodsmoke and some fresh cut hardwood. That's the good stuff.
