savvy consumer when you're calling firewood guys and let them know that they can't just bring you a bunch of stuff that's been sitting on the wet ground is not seasoned when they say that it's seasoned because the reality of it is is you're only going to get about a third of the btus out of unseasoned wood as you would for something that is seasoned and it takes an entire NUMBER_TOKEN months to properly season wood unless it's really tiny but for most cord wood you're looking at a whole year or better depending on the type number four is resinous woods woods with a lot of pitch or sap in them like a pine or a cedar those are the main ones around here the problem with those is they burn really quick and they're real they flat real they because of all that resin they burn quick and fast but they put a lot of that resin and that creosote up into the chimney and they also pop really bad all that resin in there so it tends to when it gets heated it expands and when you hear the popping sound of a fire cedar is really bad at that what that is is that resin that's inside that it's expanding and exploding and breaking the wood fibers if you have a fireplace that's open with a wood floor or carpet that's potentially a real big problem because it's always popping and cracking and it'll throw embers out and it can start your house on fire now with that being said pine and cedar make really great kindling if you can if you have a little bit you can set it aside and just chop it into small kindling pieces it's really good for fire starting cedar is the best fire starter that you can get if you guys have been putting off getting a security system don't put it off anymore now is the time simplisafe is offering NUMBER_TOKEN off of a whole home system that's early access to the black friday deals now is the time to get it i have installed two of these systems and i absolutely love it there's sensors for water there's sensors for smoke there's sensors for glass breaking we've got the new wireless camera crime is on the rise i'm hearing people having break-ins things being stolen to have my house protected and have every door covered really gives me a peace of mind that i'm going to know immediately even if i'm sleeping that something is going to be something's going to let me know that there's trouble not only that it's going to automatically call the fire department if you have a fire it's going to call the police department it's going to there's going to be someone on standby you're just not going to be on your own also it's really easy to install anyone can do it in about an hour or so it's nothing complicated the interface is very simple i absolutely love my system the folks at simply safe always asked me to share my favorite feature and the couple things come to mind one of the things it's not sometimes utility is is is handy and i like to have i keep a free sensor out here in the shop because i've got a lot of money wrapped up in spray paints and paints and if those get frozen you know those can go bad and so i put that little free sensor right in my cabinet and that tells me
