I'd love the thought of a woodburner .. but for now - I need to wait and move. Cosy evenings by the fire ... just wonderful - and those are amazing log piles!

My wood stove is a powerful gutsy little thing that will heat the whole house and the upstairs. Keeps pipes from freezing at least but to tell the truth, I rarely use it. <br />I bet Smarticus is happy with his man-cave, a place without curtains and have oil spills on the floor. Men need that <br />Sizzling eyeballs.... hahahahaManzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647852722354804887.post-56035208847250693202013-10-31T12:31:23.541-07:002013-10-31T12:31:23.541-07:00Although we don't need to use it very often, w...Although we don't need to use it very often, we have a wood-burning fireplace... and LOTS of wood stacked up and ready to go. Georgia occasionally has ice storms that knock out the power for a day or two, and the fireplace does a great job keeping the house toasty. My hubby enjoys the atmosphere of a fire so much, he'll sometimes light one when it isn't all that chilly. (Then again, I'm the one whose end of the loveseat is right in front of the raging fire, so it's MY eyeballs that sizzle.) He has a wood-burning stove out in his man cave, too.

Had to get them cut anyway because they are a fire hazard.

Even in Minnesota with its cold and I didn't have a wood-burning stove or fireplace despite the fact that friends encouraged me to buy a good stove and put it in the kitchen where I could sit and read . . . and eat! But I knew that my thoughts are in the clouds lots of times and I'd probably go to bed upstairs and forget to stoke the fire--or whatever one has to do so that the house doesn't burn down!
