Been debating for a long time about whether to install a wood stove in our house...
A main issue is of course, the chore to obtain firewood...
Where from?
A neighbor of mine who has a wood stove gets his firewood from trees chopped down by people in the neighborhood, and also from the hills owned by a friend of his...
The wood needs to be split and put up to dry for at least a year and half before it can be used...
Which means, there must be a shed to store the wood while letting it go dry...
It will certainly be a chore...
We are using a keresene stove and a fan-heater now...
Another issue touches on where we should place the stove...
It can weigh up to 200 kilograms...
We finally went to a showroom to seek for some advice...
Hmmm, sounds good...
I found myself really attracted to what the man had to say...
It will cost quite a bomb, and the chimmney installation is very expensive as well... Still, to have a real fire in the room... wooh, cozy, I imagine...
And, I love baked food... fish, chicken, bread, pizza, cookies, muffins, sweet potatoes... plus, soup of course...
All these can be cooked with the wood stove...
Gardening, photography, food, fishing, traveling, scuba diving, life in Japan, plus of course, news and views of being away from home...
Do you have a picture of it? Would like to see it, please. Is it like a fireplace?

Yes, it is like a fireplace but only better... the fireplace is 'open' and we cannot control the air (oxygen) which feeds the fire, but the wood stove allows of the air... so, better efficiency of wood use... plus, can cook food such as pizza, bread, cookies, sweet potatoes...
