   That doesn’t look anything like the logs I make.

   It’s funny, but I know a lot of people who take their firewood seriously.

   Considering the existence of many pretentious people with money to burn (see what I did there?), this is almost believable.

   Uncle Bob won’t burn anything unless it’s been seasoned at least 2 years. His woodpiles are immaculate, and dated by year gathered. Each one is probably 8′ tall by 12′ wide. He has roughly a dozen of those.

   Me, I won’t burn anything that’s not flammable. I have some firewood that has been seasoned 2 years, but only because I never, until a few weeks ago, got around to picking those piles up and putting them in my woodshed. Fortunately, it’s black locust, so it’s still quite solid. I have some maple that isn’t even split yet, and has only been down since April, but if I split it this week it’ll probably be dry enough to burn near the end of the season.

   None of it is artisanal.

   This palate-cleanser was a hoot, and I thank you for it.

   After thinking on it some more:

   Artisanal firewood should only be produced by artisans, using artisanally-manufactured felling axes or saws. And then cut using crosscut saws made from organic nickel-iron meteorites, smelted and hand-forged using only organic charcoal.

   Using only trees that were sacrificed of their own volition.

   They need to be locally sourced, don’t forget.
