When you go to someones house who does not burn wood and you or your kid leaves the door open for a little bit. They tend to get a little bent over it. "SHUT THE DOOR, YOUR LETTING THE HEAT OUR!"

and when you do burn wood, you open the door often to let a little fresh air in........

With the warm weather like we had for Christmas its hard to keep a fire going just right. A few nights there we just poured the wood to her and kept the door open with the fan that we keep blowing over the stove aimed the other way blowing outside. It was easier than burning up all our kindling.

If that's one of those glass half full things I'd much rather have a half full one than half empty one!

I guess the point was that most of us that heat with wood go out and get it, split and burn it. Those that heat with gas or electric have to pay for it each month. They see the $$$ flying out the door. Those that heat with wood just don't care or say 'put another log on the fire'. Did that last part put a song in your head?

To me it was a lack of respect to leave the door open at someones house, no matter what they heat with or what you heat with. You can't buy common sense.

Sorry, I think you took this the wrong way. I meant that when you walk in and leave the door open for the next person or that you walked out to get something.

The point was that at our house if you are coming back in there is no need to shut the door. We leave the door open if we know we are coming back in or if we know others will be coming in. Many times we open a door or window to cool it down. Just something those that do not heat with wood would not understand. Common sense is ingrained at home. Common sense at our home would say if you are coming right back in to leave the door open. Why spot and juggle what you have in your hands to try and open the door? I guess that would make sense if you heated with gas or electric but we have never done that.

To be fair I put in more time getting firewood than if I just worked a couple overtimes to pay for gas or electric. But that just wouldn't be the same. I would rather not care if the door was left open. But that is just me.

Well I have heated my place with wood for the last 47 years and you darn well better not leave the door open whether it's winter or summer

Same here.

No one in the west takes lightly hard earned heating in any form.

No one leaves the door open.

Even with pasture or corral gates, its common courtesy to close them straight away, much less someone's home.

There are many finger prints on those firewood pieces before they enter this house to burn...so you better put your finger prints on that closing door PDQ.
