Some of the happier memories I have from growing up was going out on bitterly cold winter days to help my father bring in firewood for our home's wood stove.

That thing evoked a toasty warmth that just can't be had with electric. It was the aroma of the wood burning downstairs in the basement, permeating throughout the house.

It was also hella fun to operate the chainsaw :-)

Uh, according to the article you are supposed to be dead. Your lungs should have given out when you were twelve years old.

Are you sure you are still alive?

Smokeless wood heaters really work— by burning-off the smoke that rises to the top.

Smells like home sweet home. Add to the scene, an old man in front of fireplace, smoking a pipe. THIS is America!
