mmm, i must say, i am jealous of my neighbor's woodstove [and woodstove engineered house]. ours is NOT designed [at all] with a woodstove in mind. instead we have an oil furnace electrically blown about [except, only in parts of the house...none to the south facing sun hall or our bedroom *shiver* and the same amount goes to the huge living room and kitchen as goes to the tiny bathroom and study *hiss*]. we paid 2000 last year for oil [not counting the electric bill] to heat the house [mind you, some rooms were below 50 and some at 60, its not like we kept it WARM]. my neighbors, while im not 100% sure of their money expenses, paid much less for their wood stoves [they have two, as their house is built around two separate hearth plans(mostly they just kept one side warm all the time)] and their house was significantly warmer. we just spent more than i'd expected for new windows and hopefully that will help. nonetheless, i recommend wood stoves.

I've never had fuel oil and I live on another continent - I think I need a translation :)

I love wood stove heat - just not the work. It's like doing dishes - a childhood chore I wish I could leave behind.
