Boy do I like my wood stove! Right now MDW is watching TV with the two shitzus in the family room with our wood stove. Nice and warm and toasty.
Last year I cut over 3 cords of wood. I sold a one and am burning the rest. Nothing beats the warmth from a nice bed of coals. Nothing beats wood heat. Warm when you cut, warm when you split/stack and warm when you burn.
I hear it is cold in the UK. It hasn't risen above 35F here in the last few days. Colder this weekend.
I wonder if my Meyer's Lemon Tree will make it ... it is early winter don't you know.
Stay warm.
