Who is else is having a fire tonight?

[Jillsy]

Sadly it's just in the back yard but once again the amazing smell of campfire smoke fills the air

Who else is having a fire? Tell us if you're home or away....

Hmmm,
Not cold enough here atm for our inside fire, ground is still far to damp for the outside fire pit.
Enjoy your night Swaggers.

The temp and how it changes from one side of town to the other is crazy with that place.

Inside fire every night for the last 5 weeks    Only good thing about winter 

[Steffo1]

This warms me twice.

Ok, So I'm soft.
Cold breeze, so I sparked up the inside fire.

Ha ha! I'm such a cold frog - anything under 25 degrees I am looking for a jumper

I love an inside fire - such fond memories of the wood heater we had in the house as a child.  I was bought up on a cattle station (Nappa Merrie) on Coopers Creek where it runs out of Queensland into South Australia.

This warms me twice. 

Reminds me of the wood collecting party on Bronco11's place when we were at the 2011 National Meet at Wilmington - there was some pretty hard timber amongst it.  I've got photos somewhere of BigJules trying to split it with an axe...it was like on the cartoons...the axe hit the wood...the wood didn't budge...but Jules seemed to vibrate on the spot ha ha!

1.1 degrees outside, twenty inside heated by the wood burning kitchen range which also heats the hot water.

Remember that....and as you know Jules wasn't a small bloke either.

Because I know that  ...I found it!!!  I must correct a mistake - he did split the wood but when the axe contacted with the chopping block...well...that was a different story!

That was a overnighter to a mates place near Lismore.
He has a hydraulic splitter that connects to the PTO on one of his tractors
That was 60 mins work tops
Including loading into trailer 
I would post a video of it if I knew how too ;(

I might have a really bad memory...chemical induced....but did Jules use an axe, or was that actually a Fiskars ??

I can't recall either gronk - I will have to find a photo with a different angle...

[Fizzie]

Yep, we had a backyard fire last night (No photos, sorry )

Realised (remembered!) while we were away just how enjoyable they are, & thought that there's no reason we can't still do them at home!
