Ahh, the smell. The scent of the fresh cut maple or black cherry — wonderful stuff! There is something delightful about the smell of a nice wood smoke (as long as it’s just a hint) but we don’t get much of that with the air-tight stoves.

When I was a kid we had a house with a big fireplace. We didn’t use it much but we kept a bit of wood for it. My dad told my brother and I that we could get our Pilot’s License. At age 12 that sounded exciting. Then he told us, “Here’s the firewood. Now you pile it…”

Thanks for dropping by Seth! Talk to you soon.

Oh, yeah! This brought back some memories.

I remember during one such wood-stacking session, one of my youngest sisters made the remark “I’ve stacked so much wood today…I could spell it!”. An amusing remark on the intensity of the process as well as how seriously she took her spelling!

You forgot to mention the smell. There’s nothing like it!
