Heating My Home

Good Morning -

There's no time to talk this morning, so we're going to be quick. As you can see from the Virgen, today is about wood burning stoves.

For my ideal home environment, I need a wood burning stove or two. I like a good fireplace, but love more how the flames in the wood burner are enclosed (but still visible, if you get a see-through door) and how you can cook on the top of it.

I love the idea of having one in the basement of my home and one in the kitchen and maybe even on in the living room that are vented in such a way that they heat the whole house.

I (clearly) need to have this home exist in a place where it makes sense to light a fire during part of the year.

In return (what I'll give), I will learn more about clean burning and find the best way for my stoves to heat my home, provide a cooking surface, and not destroy the environment.

In the other direction, I don't need central A/C. I need to live in a place where when it's "hot", opening the windows and plugging in a fan does the trick to cool it off. I need to live in a place where the night-time air is cool enough that the heat goes away.

Here's to that. Here's to four moderate seasons. Here's to wood burning stoves and here's to cooling with night air.
