Mine's simple. One of the stoves I have, which was my grandparent's, was made by rockwood stove works...so when I was thinking of a username.... :idea:

I get the feeling that some people think it's a word I invented and that there's some underlying meaning to it, but there isn't.

I dunno. I just figured this was a forum about heating and fire and I was about to embark on trying mybhandbat burning coal after I fixed my oil furnace. I thought at some point I may set myself on fire doing this. So, I'm on Fire was chosen.

When I was a kid and did something out of the norm, my mother call me by my first and middle name to get my attention. So burning coal was out of the norm!
