Add keeper of the home fires to my list of things to do.....

Last October, when we realized that there would be no way in hades that our fireplaces would be operational by the winter, we opted for a woodstove in the unheated breezeway.  Purchased on Craigslist, this Midnight Blue beauty keeps us warm and cozy in the breezeway, kitchen and family room and is helping with our oil bill, fairly dramatically. Not to mention it is beautiful.

My concern over the stove was that we would all smell like a firesale as we have experienced in other places that have heated with wood, but so far, we are flamemeisters... no smell and great ambiance.
