100% agree. I dont want to give anymore money to big oil than i need to. Sourcing, cutting, splitting and stacking wood is peaceful work not to mention the satisfaction that comes from keeping your home a constant 72 degrees when its freezing out. Who doesnt like to visit their wood yard lol. Its great exercise, i cut wood fall through winter and garden spring through summer to be as self reliant as can be. Now i just need some solar.
Wood stove heat is the best. Long time Cabinetmaker here Eli, winding down, getting ready to retire, you missed one key reason for guys like us- noticed the scrap with the pocket holes over your shoulder. Nothing more satisfying for me to save hardwood chunks and store in barrels them burn during winter, cleans the shop, saves dumping cost. Enjoy your videos, take care
Very true! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I also forgot to add that a HUGE reason to have one is the fact we can cook on them!! I use my cut off as kindling mostly, but hickory and white oak aren't great starters lol. Its nice to have some poplar and or cedar but I don't get to many builds for those species of wood. I have another channel I started a little while back for the cabinet shop if you wanted to check that out. www.youtube.com/@g4designswoodwork
Just found your channel yesterday. This is a great list. I think you missed the most important reason. I grew up with a wood stove and a fire place in an area where the power was often out. We often had to cook all of our meals and heat water for hygiene and other cleaning purposes. Today just for the fun of it I still cook Thanksgiving dinner on the wood stove. Our children love it. Have a great day.
We are 72 still doing our own wood and much prefer our wood stove over our natural gas. Keeps me outside in winter and as far as chores go it's actually enjoyable if you do it the right time of year.
Absolutely! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. At 72 processing your own wood I imagine is keeping you young as well. Bugs, cold, heat and other factors can definitely mess with the enjoyment, each time of year has its challenges lol
Hello Eli I agree with all of your points !!! Where i live we need at least 6 to 8 months of heat to be comfortable ! And often several months of REALLY cold temperatures !!! Saskatoon Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦 😊
Yes I believe that! I have never been that far north, just to the Sioux Narrows part of lake of the woods a couple times and that was for fishing in the early fall
Nostalgia BS eeer ah buffalo chips or cow patties😁, Reading the history of Ft Snelling Mn it was amazing how far they had to travel to gather firewood as it was mostly a plains area at the time. Good video keep them coming!👍 Did you happen to catch Chris's latest video this morning? 1% 💩😁

It's a strange form of therapy for me as well

Hello, couldn’t agree more ! We love our Pacific Energy stove in Anoka County.
Thanks for leaving the comment!! I have an Englander stove and am more than pleased right now with it

You are 100% correct. That should and could have been Part of #1
