All this talk of heaters

We have one of these Fisher Wood Stoves. It's been our only source of heat for coming up on ten years and I could make it 120+ degrees in here if I wanted even if it was zero degrees outside. It's a bit of work maintaining a constant temp but I've got it down pretty well. Makes such nice heat. My son is starting to take over that task and also helps with firewood which we have 15 acres of. Hard to judge the size by this pic(not my pic) but it's 24" wide. When it's cold out and the stove is kicking, our 12 inch cast iron skillet is the best bacon cooker ever. Just rotate the pan 180 occasionally. No hot spot in the center like on a range/stove burner. I've made pizza, cornbread and cake on it. The lid to one of those little round Brinkman smokers fits well on the front of the wood stove to make an oven. Bought the wood stove in Florida of all places for $250. It's a Papa Bear and I also have a Grandpa Bear in my shop. I need to get a new cast iron dutch oven without legs to use on the Papa Bear. I have one with legs and have used it on an outdoor fire. We also have a two burner Coleman camp stove that will go 2-3 months on a 20 lb propane bottle. We can always cook.
