I know this isn’t a usual post but I wanted to prove I wasn’t a liar. Got up at 5 this morning and got the stove going. 65 when I came down and...
For the first time in a long time we're going to see some low temps. It's below freezing here in CT right now and it's slated to stay that way for...
I should have done this- I thought I did but that's what thinkin' gets me. I have the $140 version in my stove right now but picked up a ceramic...
