Holiday firewood emergencies

[Alan]

You’re all set for the holidays, feeling good about your wood supply then the phone rings, and someone’s in a bind. Ever had to make a mad dash for firewood when the season is already underway?

honestly, my relatives always show up, crank the dampener wide open, and burn through a three day supply in about four hours because they love the big flames.
I’ve definitely had to go out at 10 PM with a headlamp to dig through the snow for more logs just to keep the peace. Now I keep a decoy stack of lowerquality wood for the guests! haha

 

[Alan]

That's so funny and I totally get it. That decoy stack idea is brilliant sometimes you just gotta guard the good stuff from those wild kids.

HAHA stash the good whiskey, the good beer, and the good oak.

Absolutely, let the unrefined wood burn while the valuable pieces remain tucked away.
