stacked wood waiting

"To poke a wood fire is more solid enjoyment than almost anything else in the world."

Charles Dudley Warner


"The fire is the main comfort of the camp, whether in summer or winter, and is about as ample at one season as at another. It is as well for cheerfulness as for warmth and dryness."

Henry David Thoreau


"Man is the only creature that dares to light a fire and live with it. The reason? Because he alone has learned to put it out."

Henry Jackson Vandyke, Jr.
