Great invention idea

It was 20 degrees Farenheight this morning and I STILL haven't turned on my real heat (oil). I don't know what I like the most about a wood stove; the heat, the savings from my oil bill, or the excuse to cut trees in my backyard and play with chainsaws, axes and log splitters.

I like the crackling of the wood most. The heat, too.

Playing with the toys is just an extra.

We've had week long power outages from ice storms, freak snow storms in early oct a couple of years ago and hurricanes and the woodstove not only heats the joint, but i can cook on top of it as well. The kids call it camping indoors, and always ask if I'm going to "turn the stove on".

Come on. The wood stove IS your real heat. I "test" my electric furnace a couple of times a year. I love cutting firewood. Watching your saw dig into a big log is a joy too few have experienced. I still split by hand. Never caught on to the mechanical splitters.
