 Filling the oil tank in our basement doesn't provide us much satisfaction. The delivery guy pulls up the driveway, attaches a big hose to a spigot outside of the house, and ten minutes and twelve hundred dollars later, we're good to go.
On the other hand, after we split and stack a few cords of wood, we're full of endorphins and good cheer. Firewood warms you twice, as Thoreau once noted. And there are other nifty things about it, aside from the free exercise. It can be fun to split (we're not talking about hacking away at the knotty stuff, but working with clear-grained red oak and ash that practically parts itself). It's cheap. It smells good. It provides a home for critters.
And above all, it's handsome. An oil tank isn't much to look at. But a woodpile? Even a ramshackle, novice effort exhibits a certain lopsided, geometric charm. And as for wood well-stacked and seasoned, well, we've seen some piles here in Maine that deserve to be installed in the MOMA.
Share your own masterpiece with us by sending a digital image (to woodpile@mattscoffee.com), and we'll send you a bumper sticker. And if we put it up on our website to share with other wood enthusiasts we'll send along something extra with your order: a couple of samples, an extra bag, some filters for your aeropress. Nothing too extaordinary. Thanks!
