We're married to the same women?

Last year around New Years when it was brutally cold I would have froze to death if I didn't have my wood stove going. The boiler struggled to keep up.

I let the stove run down one night and it was down to 60 degrees by morning.

Doesn’t your wife go down at 3 am to stoke the stove like mine?

My wife doesn't stoke anything anymore. I get up enough in the middle of the night just to go pee, esp if I've had a few beers, so it's not usually an issue.

About 35 years ago, when I had my first stove, I left her home alone with three little kids and the stove going with the doors open and screen in place because she wanted to watch the fire.
Well she loaded up the stove and the pipe caught on fire. She called the fire department, they came and just closed the doors and vent to suffocated the fire. It was my fault because I didn't school her on what to do if that happened.
She hasn't touched a piece of hardwood since! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
