Third day of wet cool temps

What to do when for three days the daytime highs do not top 53F and nighttime lows are 48F?
What you do NOT want to do is light off your masonry stove...
But when you only have wood heat, after a few days it starts to feel pretty chilly indoors...
The answer is the old Great Majestic wood cook stove in the kitchen!
It has hardly been used in several years, since Shorty moved in.
This morning I had enough. At 5:15 am, I found myself out at the woodshed, splitting some dry cedar & larch wood.
Now at 6:30 am, the whole house is nicely warm, but not overly warm like Shorty would have made it!
Hard to get a just little heat from a dragon... but the Great Majestic is happy to fill an important position during shoulder seasons!

That is a beautiful stove.

We are warmer here though much more wet feet ...

My approach is similar, and effective in a slightly different way. I call it the "Baker's Guide to Home Heating". The oven takes the chill off the kitchen and living room, and the baked goods warms me from the inside out.

What a lovely old stove!! I would dearly love an old wood cook stove or a Walker, in the kitchen, but alas - hubby is no more fond of either of those, than he was with the rmh, in the living room...
