For the first time I am in a house in a room with a wood-burning stove.
it never previously occurred that this would be something that appealed to me.
In fact I guess it didn't appeal to me.
Until that first night when I woke up really cold.
and it may have been something I was getting acclimated to since I've been chopping and stacking a lot of wood for somebody with a fireplace...
but since the second night and since it was already stuffed with paper and kindling and fuel for me to start it,
I look forward to when it's cool enough just start the fire.
Aside from discovering the difference in efficiency and utility between the stove and a decorative fireplace,
There's just something that helps settle one down about a fire in the evening
And something that gets one up about a fire in the morning.
Interesting that it works both ways...
But I do feel a little bit odd about burning all of my host's would up.
P.S.: this thing is really good at drying shoes if you can find a way to suspend them over the top of it without them touching it.
