Kindling 101 -- 7th Edition
« on: November 06, 2017, 02:24:54 PM »
OMG! It's been 7 years since I made this video for B&B.

Firewood season is upon us. We heat two residences with wood stoves, so kindling is continual necessity.
I'm re-posting this for any new members, or old-timers here who are feeling nostalgic.



Don't bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring. Try spending 30 seconds in my head. That will freak you right out!!

Yup.  Good stuff. 
At least it's not a femur through the pelvis.

I can't believe it was that long ago.  We were calling ourselves "The Land of Misfit Toys."  LOL
