I buy "energy logs" by the pallet (kind of like big presto logs with no additives, made from wood processing waste sawdust), stored in my basement, and trade homemade pickles and cookies for woodscraps from local millwork/cabinet guys. I love the kind of involvement the fire demands, the figuring out part, finding the balance of air flow and types of wood - turning up the heat means throwing in some soft wood scraps, cedar is the best when you can find it, and makes a wonderful crackling sound and miniature fireworks. I love reading your blog. I need to live in the city, but your writing wakes up that ache for the country.
