In before the ping. LOL Speaking of cold, I’ve been researching small wood stoves that could be set up in case of emergency to knock the chill off the basement and/or heat the green house when we get it.
Looking at some of the neat marine stoves that can also be used for cooking. One even has an additional stackable unit to add an oven.
We have 2 fireplaces upstairs, but worry that the basement plumbing might freeze, since the water closet for the whole house is on the walk-out end of the basement, and faces in a Northerly direction.
I live in a mobile home, and the pipes go underneath. Now that it is spring, I need to get under there and wrap them.
Ooooo, the tiny stoves! I have a page bookmarked to one place that sells them. I want one for my little shed - but the cost is a bit of a downer. Installation is about triple the cost of the stove - around here anyway.
Here is one link. There are a couple of others, but yes, most of the very tiny stoves are marine.

I would strongly recommend Lopi stoves and inserts for your fireplace.
We’ve had this brand of stove in other states and our son has an insert at his place in Seattle.
Very well made unit.
