That is awesome.
“discussions on the vexed question of whether logs should be stacked with the bark facing up or down have marred many a christening and spoiled many a wedding when wood enthusiasts are among the guests”

Too bad I missed the 6 hr tv show:
"A Norwegian television programme based on the book that aired in 2013 was followed by a six-hour programme showing nothing but an open fire in a hut. One million people tuned in during the course of the show. “People actually followed it,” said Mytting. “They’d comment on Twitter ‘time to get on a new log’, or complained ‘when will they burn spruce? There’s too much birch now’. There was no end to the detail.” "

I have seen pictures and You Tubes about Norwegian Wood stacking. Mr Sometime Wonderful is dedicated to his home and yard.

I wonder if he would appreciate this as much as I do. He is from the other side of the globe and sometimes struggles with my Northern Breeding

I'm guessing our random heap with a tarp over it would NOT be acceptable....

Thank you Bascar. I've ordered a copy. Don't know if it will be here on time, but if it's late, there's still Valentines Day :)
