What about woodstoves?

[funnyfarm?]

Hi everyone,

i live in a farmhouse,and my only source of

heat is a woodstove.The breeder I purchased my Amazon

from assured me it was safe.It is an airtight stove,

and it never gets "smokey" in here.Just wondering what

your opinions are? Thanks alot, K.C.

I don't see a problem with it as long as it is properly vented to the outside which of course it has to be, I also use a wood burning fireplace and have no problems.

Thanks Judy,I read that you live on a farm too!Only I

bet your winters aren't anything like mine!Thanks for

answering my other question about ratings .K.C.

You're right. Judy's farmland probably isn't as bad as yours. Her horses, milk cows and her different poultry stock need a warmer climate. Luckily, she has a good sized barn heated barn for the hogs she raises.

I don't live on a farm now but I used to as a child, that was a long, long time ago and we had cows, chickens and pigs, no horses.

 

We did have some pretty bad winters though.

Sorry about that,Judy.I thought you did.Oh well,at least

you have a woodstove?I wish I had a furnace!! K.C.

Yes I have a woodstove and 2 fireplaces, there is nothing better than having a nice hot fire going on a cold snowy day or night and you don't have to worry about if the electricity goes out.

It does come in handy when the hydro goes out,for sure!

It's carrying it in and splitting it,that I don't like.

I guess I'm gettin old!lol It would be so nice to just

turn up the dial!I was also really worried about the birds landing on the woostove,as Shado,my grey isn't clipped,but he's learned.And Lyric's grown up here and he knows as well.As for my new bird,I'm glad it's warming up now so I'll not have to have it roaring for

much longer.We've had a hateful winter this year,I've

burned 9 full bushcords of wood,which is alot!!!

I sure am glad it's over! K.C.

I don't split or carry, I let the hubby do that, he also cuts it down, loads it on the truck and stacks it when its split, all I do is sit back and bask in the warmth, I've got him trained pretty well by now.:whistle:

[funnyfarm?]

Judy,you are lucky to have one of those "hubby"s.

They sound great!Do you know where I could get one??
