Staying Warm Outside


We have a lot of cedar trees on our farm. But cedar is not good to burn in your woodstove inside the house. The sap burns forming creosote in the chimney. But burning it outside is wonderful. The cedar crackles and gives off the best smelling smoke. When the wind is weak I will get the chiminea going with pieces of cedar and old newspaper. It is nice to sit on the swing and watch the fire. Even our barn cat comes out to enjoy the warmth.
