Bark Up or Bark Down

[doctorb]

I think you'll enjoy this article from the NY Times about a Norwegian TV show on firewood.

Talk about reality TV!!! ;)

Gotta love it. I have read so many posts by experts saying it should be one way or the other. I am glad that half of the Norse wood burners agree with all of them  ;D

Good grief and I thought Canadians were boring.

Canadians are boring :D

My answer to the question is "Any way my wife stacks it is great". 

[r.man]

Stumper, your profile does not have a map location so I do not have a proper response for that uncalled for, unsolicited national slur. Except to say three burly hockey players with foil wrapped around their hands are on the look out for you until you admit you like back bacon.

r.man,I don't want to get in on this,but there is a smiley there that stated,Ya,that's a good one,meaning that is funny and he quoted you too. stumper is a nice guy and I know he did mean anything bad or mean by what he said.

[r.man]

Wow Cfarm, you made me laugh more than stumper did. I refuse to use emoticons, I feel that humour and sarcasm should " speak " for themselves although my reference to the movie "Slapshot" is a bit obscure due to it's age. I  probably should reconsider since both work better with body language and inflection. It is almost impossible to insult or offend me and if you did there would be no doubt in anyone's mind that it had happened. Sorry if I tensed anybody up, I think they refer to my sense of humour as " droll ".

[thecfarm]

Sarcasm does speak for themselves,but we can't see your emotions through a computer screen That's where the smileys come in.  :D stumper used them but I did not see any on your post. Sorry,I took it the wrong way.  :-[

Guess I'll have to fix add to my profile.  I am from Maine.  The state that is bordered by two Canadian provinces and only one state ???

I have nothing against Canaidians, in general I like them, I just like a good chuckle, and a softball served up that easy is one I could not refuse.

By the way my based on the geneology my wife has done, I am married to a woman that is half Canadian (and I still likel them ;D)

When I stack my wood, I try to please everybody. I stack half with the bark up, and half with the bark down. Occasionally I might stack a stick on its edge, but thats just because it slipped out of my hands.  :D

Stacking firewood is like a puzzle to me.Which pieces fit the best where?

[r.man]

Stumper I would have been disappointed if nobody had taken a crack at my comment, half the fun is seeing what comes out next.  ;D I guess I should learn to use these things if only to avoid confusion. :'(  No need to apologize Cfarm your hearts in the right place.

On Twitter, a viewer named Andre Ulveseter said: "Went to throw a log on the fire, got mixed up, and smashed it right into the TV."

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

What do the bark up, bark down fanatics do with a piece that has no bark on it? :D :D

[r.man]

I can answer that. A person who is serious about life will either add a piece of bark saved specifically for this occasion or discard the barkless piece of wood as defective. Because it is.

What do the bark up, bark down fanatics do with a piece that has no bark on it? :D :D

I put them under the pieces that have the bark on them, to keep them dry....

I think maybe some burley hockey players should put all you(and me) deep in the ground in canadian plywood boxes
