Firewood is heated twice: once when you chop it, and once when you burn it. A common story about firewood that has conquered the world. Lars Mitting, born and living in Norway, did not plan to publish his book, and even more so, did not expect that it would receive worldwide recognition as the best foreign bestseller of applied literature in 2016. The author traveled all over Norway in search of those who cut and those who heats. They are the ones who have knowledge passed down from generation to generation that the Internet cannot tell you about. This is experience accumulated over centuries. This is a whole philosophy. All the facts in the book were collected during meetings with generally recognized experts, both enthusiasts and researchers. What types of trees are there, how to choose a tool for cutting, how each tree burns and what kind of heat it gives, how to divide and stack logs in woodpiles that will not only comfortable, but also aesthetically beautiful, the author will reveal the secrets and answer all questions. After all, burning wood is more than just mechanical work with your hands. “Building the right fire is one of the main skills of a man, his prerogative and only his territory. With fire, a man brought warmth, hot food and comfort to his family.”
