Been heating with wood all my life.Why does it relax me to just watch wood smoke come out of my chimney,,especially when its below zero outside?I really love it when walking back from my tree stand,and see my chimney billowing smoke.

same here

There is just something about a wood fire; the smell of woodsmoke and the heat from it. I love it.

I also love throwing a chunk of birch in there just for the smell.When splitting my wood,I keep some birch separate just for that purpose.

Same with coal for me. I used to go outside just to smell it and see the smoke come out of the chimney, it does have a calming effect. Nothing heats ya up down to the bone better either. I miss it, gonna have to get me another stove one of these days.

besides a furshed has to smell a little like wood smoke too.

Because you realize that you're doing your part to promote

Global Warming & Climate Change,

and helping to keep us Northern New Yorkers from freezing to death !!!

My house is all electric. I put a wood stove in just to have it to relax.

You run out of donuts again?

I still do that..walk out on the deck so I can see the smoke after I throw some wood in.

I agree. That feeling is unlike any other. There is something primal about warming up in front of a fire. My little 1,000sqf house is solely heated by wood. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Cherry too, I love the smell of cherry wood smoke.

Yes it surly is relaxing. Have a fire ring out in the back yard that gets used a lot during the year just for that purpose.

Heck No.

You asked and I thought I was paying you a compliment.

I hate cold, and I love the smell of woodsmoke !!!!

Hot cast iron has the magnetic ability to attract dogs and older humans, both of which are usually rendered unconscious shortly thereafter.

Lol,,just bustin yer chops,,,plus I would really love a apple cider donut right now for some reason.

Because you are the one that made it happen!

I have a wood stove that needs rebuilt and installed I just haven't done it. I agree too, having raised 4 kids on wood and coal heating, deer meat and other game, plenty of fish, and a garden. I miss wood heating some, but cutting wood is a task though. Still it's good for you to do and the fire itself is good for the primal man for sure. I love a big old convincing bonfire outside too, but that's another story entirely.

It warms my heart because that smoke is free just a lot of work.

I think it might be instinctual. How long have homo sapiens been gathering around a fire for warmth, companionship, protection from predators, and to cook their food, all of which provide comfort?
