You could cook, sing or even dance all at the same time. :) (We have plenty of them just across the River in the province of Que---bec. Americans are welcome!)<br /><br /><br />On a serious note; I really enjoyed reading the story about your parents Paul. Though I never personally cooked on a wood stove I can attest to their warmth. As a child I can recall my Grandmother having one which had a (makeshift ?)screen that flanked it. When I and my siblings stayed over for a visit it was a treat to slip into 'warm cozy' undershirts in the morning prior to her preparation of breakfast. -Brenda-mrsbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490065292054880863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-23032582794769755392010-06-17T11:40:29.225-04:002010-06-17T11:40:29.225-04:00What a picture you paint Rich.

My own wood burning days are over (for now) - what a lot of work: stacking, stoking, poking, ash removal... There is nothing like the quality of heat that radiates from one of these massive beasts though; it warms you through and through. Puts you to sleep too, on a cold winter's night, sitting in a kitchen rocker, trying to read as the warm drowsiness overtakes you...Rich Holschuhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110780163400713464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-18089663570577357342010-06-17T09:29:27.547-04:002010-06-17T09:29:27.547-04:00Yeah.
