Mary Beth it is a beauty. I miss my wood stove. We had a Jotul for 25+ years. It was wonderful. I cooked on it and it was so warm in our house and always smelled so good because something was always cooking. Never had a fire. Had some dust but it was a good airtight stove and worked wonderfully. We still have the stove but we replaced it with a propane stove for a backup if the electric goes out. It looks like a wood stove but isn't nearly as warm. We just got to old to deal with the wood. Enjoy!
Be Blessed,

the only thing bad about wood stoves besides the mess is if you are in a burn ban. When you are in a burn ban you cannot burn your wood stoves. We are in East Texas and more than once during the winter we have been in a burn ban so had to find alternitive heat sources. We have a wood stove but looking into a pellet stove as they are cool burn out the flue so no sparks! I am like you we get tons of wood for free from dh work but i cant replace my house or the next 1000 acres...lol

| Thats the stove I've aways wanted. I will never have one because we have no room for one but it sure is a beautiful one and I know you will enjoy it for many many years to come. Lucky you. Congratulations! Your blog is beautiful too. |

Brandee, so far, we haven't had that problem here in the winter, although this HAS been a really strange year, so hopefully we won't experience that.
Diane, they make really small ones too - half the size of that one - for smaller areas. And thank you for such nice words about the blog! :-)

well we are going to pick up our wood stove this weekend. It is not that big but we only have a 900sq. ft house. It has reclaimer on it and it by itself is 120.00...and 5ft of pipe. We are getting the whole lot for 275.00 I thought that was a deal. I know we will have to get about another 3-400.00 worth of other stuff like, pipe and heat board...But I thought it was a great deal anyway

Congrats Deborah!! I'll pass on one thing we found out. Ourinsurance company didn't raise our rates because we got professionals to install the stove. They weren't sure they would even cover us if we didn't have it put in by people who were certified. So you might check with your insurance company before you install it!

Congrats, Mary Beth on your stove! We have heated with wood for 25+ years and love it. Well, despite the labor of cutting wood, splitting,stacking,storing,hauling,ants/bugs in the wood...etc.
We recently replaced our stove with a Kuma wood stove. They are locally manufactured and are eco-friendly. We were able to find a local stone company to cut soapstone to fit the top of our stove and that makes it very attractive.
Wood heat is somewhat high maintenance, as far as household chores go, ie: dusting and vacuuming. But nothing is better than the cozy feeling a wood stove brings to your home.
