New furnace - A Tale of Two Winters - Page 5

I love wood burning stoves. I have a wood burning stove. However, I do not like cutting and stacking wood. So, my wood burning stove is run by natural gas and I have a remote to turn it on and off.

Conspicuous consumption.

The fire was out but there was either some smoldering left in the 'ash box' or some other part of the thing. It's a pretty big and mazy thing with the oven.

Chopping firewood is like the best way to get rid of aggression. I used to volunteer for it in the military just for fun.

When I was growing up I sure cut wood everyday and fed a wood burning stove. We would burn through a cord on any given winter. It did cut the oil bill by hundreds of dollars. The gas stove is nice. No fuss, no mess but there is no crackle and no wood smell that you and August speak of. That is a home type smell, a welcoming warm smell.

I must have gotten the wrong instruction manual. Mine do their nails, text, play on the computer or the Playstation 3. Most often watch the large screen HD TV and or sleep. Sometimes doing both at the same time.

Well its mid summer here, but if i could choose my seasons i would go for winter any day. In winter if your cold you put warmer clothes on turn up the heaters or throw another log on the fire. No worries. In summer if your hot and sweaty and theirs no creek or beach near by you sweat it out, spend all day hot then nights its worse - plus summer attracts all the nasties like flies, spiders weird looking bugs and then comes those damn crickets in their thousands

Give me winter any day
