Cider Press Hill

My little furnace

Since I go on so much about my wood stove, today seemed like a good day for taking a couple of pictures showing why I love it so much. It’s a lot prettier to look at than the hot water baseboards. It keeps my house around 72° and I’m not hyperventilating about the gas bill.

Here we have a stove full of nearly white hot coals. Still throwing off a blast of heat, but it’s time to throw a couple more logs in.

About three minutes later, we have a cheerful and crackling fire. These three hunks of wood will heat my entire house for about 4 hours. They usually last longer, but it’s only 6°F outside and the wind is still howling fiercely. Brrr!
