Thank you for your kind reply!
I'm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and the past couple days is the first time I had to fire up the wood stove. It's going real good right now, nice and toasty, and it is the best kind of heat. My wood stove is a big old cast-iron (2200 btu) workhorse. I keep a cast-iron teapot filled with water on top to add moisture to the air.
Hubby is allergic to wood smoke but we do have two woodstoves in the house that we never use. One is an older Ben Franklin stove (looks nice in the living room--smile) and the other is a good Jotul. I want to have that one checked out because you never know when you need one around here. We live in Central New York and it can get mighty cold and windy. (I wouldn't live anywhere else, though.)
