We just sold our house back in NY that had a fireplace and a wood stove and we loved burning wood. We loved the crackling of the wood in the fireplace and watching the flames and also the same with the wood stove (a Vermont Castings catalytic). Nothing like the warmth of wood.
Pellet stoves- not so much. Never appealed to us.
But yes- stacking and carrying wood- good exercise but gets harder and harder.
Now we are living in a cottage in The Weirs with propane heat but unfortunately no room for a gas heat stove or fireplace. We have plans to buy an electric stove heater- yeah- I know. But at least it will be something. They make some realistic looking ones- well- kind of...
We really miss having a wood stove.
