Tis' the season for us. We are stoking our wood stove about every 4 hours ( through the night also ). I love wood heat...sometimes it is a little hard to control an even temp, so putting on and taking off clothes is a part of heating with a good stove.
Oh! Yes...I thought there'd be some who had wood burning stoves...
To stoke..when a kid, we had a coal furnace..that had to be...then you pulled out the grate and picked out the good ones....to be reburnt.
Oh! The days...
