That there woodstove is sure some pretty.
Yeah it is but getting up every 2 hours all night long to stick a single chunk of wood in it isn’t very practical.
[very long, narrow firebox]
My dad used to drive by on the way up to the cabin every morning and I’d be out in the yard splitting the day’s worth of firewood into quarters for that infernal stove....:))
I tried to use it for heating the kitchen for 1 winter and it was a major PITA...put in a regular wood stove, after that.
OTOH, you can’t imagine how good it baked bread and pies.
Must be something about the cast iron.
