Chopping wood one day
as I mulled over my cider
a new winters sweat
crept up like a spider
My cider still hot
sitting on the stump
wood to the wagon
I now did dump
Trudging hard softly
under the strain
I now added wood
to my small domain
Once inside
and a good fire burning
I sweat some more
while the chestnuts are turning
Hot cocoa on the wood stove
Hot cider being mulled
My heat is now magnified
more than thrice fold

lol you have just described my grown son who has a one room cabin near the woods. He has a huge Buck wood burning stove in that little cabin. However he uses a log splitter to split his wood. He decided to sell some and worked all day to have enough to sell to one customer.
Of course we have no wood for our fireplace ………I may rob him of his wood and then I will be warmed three times. lol lol
Actually once to walk up to the wood….cause there is no more near the house
once to cut it
once to split it
once to load it
once to unload it
once to stack it in a pile…..a half time to get pissed off over splinters and hunt up
your gloves
once to bring it in
once when you burn it…..and another half if you cook with it
once to empty the ashes
So that is 9 times……maybe up to 9 1/2 or 10 times
AND
If you put the ashes on the garden…….the circle of heat continues
I swear 1 more of these and I’ll find another use for that log

Less so if you use a chainsaw.
don’t know
your babbling.
