It came with a black wooden handle, but they used to come with a stained wooden handle, which I liked. Even their web page show it with the one I have, so I ordered it from Regency.
Steve, methinks many would be very happy if these temperatures stuck around until March and then warmed up!
Yep Dennis, I think you are right, and me too! But of course it won't last. Comfy while it does though. Thanks FP, we sure do enjoy it. Never would have believed my wife would want her own wood stove in her kitchen, but I guess when you live together for 45 years, some things are bound to wear off, and I think my love of wood burning finally wore off on her in 2011. She wakes up every morning to eat her breakfast, 5 feet from a warm fire and there aren't to many mornings she doesn't thank me.
Yep, we've had a nice run lately. I love being able to go 12 hrs. with a 1.4 cu.ft. stove, heating the place for several hours on just the coals. Heck, I'm still burning up chunks and uglies. I don't envy those folks out east at all...winter can stay away for a while longer and I won't mind a bit.
Yep, my little 1.34 cu in Hampton is doing just fine in this weather. The Buck stands ready to help when needed though, but in the mean time, this is nice!
