My yard generates a lot of Silver Maple. Awesome outdoor fire wood, once thoroughly cured it burns hot, lots of color, pops and crackles a lot. My bro-in-law wanted some for his house, I told him not to but he insisted. Burnt his new carpet 
Bob I'm high enough. I don't have to worry about flooding. Besides (everyone groans) we can't stop it anyway.

I hear ya, fellas. That cheesy natural gas fireplace hasn't been turned on in years, much less with anything flammable in it. My firewood is made of concrete. That doesn't stop a few knuckleheads around here from burning those parrafin and sawdust logs in theirs.
Creosote lining your flue ain't got nuthin on a good coating of parafin...
Maybe I outta pipe down about climate change? After all, I'm only 66 ft. above sea level. I'll be selling my beachfront property soon enough to those refugees from Newport Beach. Sure gives a new twist to being underwater on your mortgage, eh?
