This is what the floor around my stove looks like all winter lol. I am usually shoving dogs and people away so I can even get to it to reload!
My cat yowled at me when I got home and the house was 62F. I fired up the stove, two and a half hours later it was 72. Happy cat, happy Firebroad. Boy, I love shoulder season, one load warms the whole house up for the night.
Nice... It does bring the family together in a relaxing way... Can't say the same thing about a furnace....
