The snow has finally ended but it's still bitter cold out. Nightime temperatures fall below zero. The highest it's been outside today was 6. But, it's nice and toasty inside the house, courtesy of the woodstove!
It's made of 1/2 inch thick steel, so once it gets hot, it stays hot! No matter what the temperature is outside, we can keep it above 70 in the house all winter long. The bricks heat up like a hot road in summer, and they're nice to stand on barefoot, especially after taking a shower. Don't touch your bare leg on the stove! That'll leave a mark! (I have a few). It's our only source of heat for the house and we burn about 12 face cord the entire winter. Buy it and stack it in summer, living by the motto "during good weather, prepare for the bad." Notice that 5 foot deep pile of snow out the window?
