New Pellet Stove


Last winter, we were often accused of trying to freeze our house guests, or at least give them frostbite while staying with us. Our propane bill was astronomical, and every month, following the heating bill, we went to the thermostat, and turned it down a few degrees. By February we were living in a 64 degree house.

In July, I went into the pellet stove shop and picked out a pellet stove and called my husband demanding that I was NOT going to freeze this winter. He calmly and practically told me that we would save up a buy one later. I am the thrifty 'saver' of the family, so I agreed. I was not impressed when he went to the bank for a loan and bought a car that weekend.

Fast forward to August, I finally got my way and we found a gorgeous pellet stove. It was installed Friday, and we rearranged our living room to accommodate it. I like how the room looks now, and love how warm our house is!

  1. You will love it!! There is nothing like the heat from a fireplace. We put a wood burning stove in our new home, and LOVE it. It is the ONLY good thing about winter. Well, that and the fact that there are no flies in winter. Hope to see it someday in person. :) Janell

  3. It is gorgous! We are burning coal and wood. So comforting! We do have a tendency to throw back the covers sweltering hit :)
