[TheForge] cutting wood

[Jerry Frost]

Spontaneous combustion Mike? A little rain on a pile of chips can most 
certainly start composting and maybe catch fire. Like storing ANY flamable a 
person needs to be aware of potential dangers and make allowances.

Glad you got it under control before something BAD happened Mike. Good show!
