Warm on the Inside

The wood stove at our new house is about half the size of the wood stove at our old house.  We were curious to find out how well it would heat the house and how many logs we could fit into it.  After a week now of heating the house with the stove, I'm pleasantly surprised and happy to say that this little guy heats the whole house within an hour and using only 5 to 7 logs.  After that we're all shedding our sweat shirts and cracking open the windows.  Here's to saving money on the electrical bill!!

The wood stove is the heart of your new dining room / kitchen/ living room. I love being there, and seeing everyone gathered to eat, visit, and the dogs snuggled as close to it as they can get.You're right...it is toasty warm !
