Tell me about it!
When I was kid, we lived in a house with 3 fireplaces, and my dad was pyromaniac. If it got below 70 degrees, he'd build fires.
Hell I was 18 years old before I knew my name wasn't Get Wood!
There wasn't any of that easy chainsaw work either... He never got a chainsaw til I left home. Double bitted axe.
That would be considered child abuse these days.... There's nothing like hard to take the mischief out of a young boy though. Most of today's youth could stand a good dose. In my case it was a shovel, I swear my old man stayed awake nights thinking up jobs for me that involved a dam shovel.

Makes me wish I was at my place up there. I put in a new stove two years ago (replacing an old Fisher) and never lit it. I got up there this summer and for a couple of days it was cool enough to light it. It did its job and darn it felt and looked great.

Charlie, it really is tough too beat a wood stove for heat.
We've been out in the hills for the last few days moving cows and while we're there stay in an old log house.
It has a pretty old halfway wore out Monarch in the kitchen and of course we fire it up every fall.
We'll bring a chainsaw and scrounge broken corral rails and posts for camp wood.
This year the chopping block was getting pretty soft in the center so I climbed up on a REALLY old dozed up pile of cabin remains and cut a new block out of an old cedar log.
Wood was still nice and solid so I cut another chunk off and we split it. Smelled and looked great and burned like a hot sonuvabitch! Sam, Nothing wrong with an old Monarch. This one still cooks cackle berries, sausage and hash browns well.  ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa437/boxhead61/idahobreakfast.jpg)

Knew quite a few people that had Fisher 'Bear' stoves when I lived in Fbx. Great stoves. So are the Jotul. Another friend still has the 'teepee' shaped Jotul. I had the same in a house I sold.

When we had our house built I insisted on a word burning stove. ![[Linked Image]](http://forums.accuratereloading.com/evefiles/photo_albums/3/4/4/344100033/6381067802_F0C26E490AA59849531EB6B2079BC613.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://forums.accuratereloading.com/evefiles/photo_albums/3/4/4/344100033/9671036712_D4C60485696F765FB290962E4B3D3D28.jpg) Nothing like curling up in front of a good fire when the mercury drops.

Field,if you have two dogs, you are a lucky man! I would love to see them.. If not give them a treat for us! Have a wonderful fall! Finally got my photobucket working after not being able to access it for over a month so here ya go WCH. And happy hunting to you too. ![[Linked Image]](http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o222/CharlieB401/Dogs/S7304007_zpsqkqjmviw.jpg) I don't know how I let that Cur Dog get so fat but I've had her on a serious diet. Just took this pic this morning. She looks and feels better much better now. ![[Linked Image]](http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o222/CharlieB401/Dogs/5261ba58-b255-4ab4-8a47-4c98a49dbbfc_zps9dfc8d3d.jpg)

Took out a propane fireplace and replaced it with this. One of the best things we have ever done. ![[Linked Image]](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Sweet16Owner/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsh6ryaopv.jpeg)
