Winter Warmth Is Here

We've just upgraded from a wasteful fireplace (built in the 60s) to a certified wood stove insert. We have a lot of firewood to burn and we wanted to cut down on how much oil we have to put into our furance each year. Altho we are burning 99% biodiesel this year, it's still expensive. By my calculations, the cost of the stove and installation should pay for itself in oil and electricity savings (from running the furnace) in 2-3 years. (The home improvement is currently financed.)



This is an Avalon stove by Rainier, painted "Rich Metallic Brown". They actually brought the wrong model and we are not able to burn in this stove. We are expecting the correct one on December 8th. We ordered a "cooktop" version, that has a flat cooking area on top. The model pictured here is the model for just heating.
