I just love to watch the fire in my woodstove, I dont understand why someone (my dad included) would want a stove without one

To each their own i guess, its a handsome one
It's good to see the fire extinguishers.
We have one in the living room; one in our bedroom; one by the back door; one down stairs; one in the garage; and one in the truck. One in the RV trailer. There are two bedrooms down stairs, so maybe one more is in order even though we are empty nesters. Each one also has a small flashlight attached to it. Smoke alarms get batteries replaced each December 1st. All but one is hard wired.
EDIT.
I was just looking at the size of the fire extinguisher. Medium size, nine pounds plus, and needs recharging!!!! Time to check the others...

The ambiance is a nice aspect, but really I like a glass front more for practical reasons. Nice to be able to tell at a glance what's going on and if I need to add wood or not.
I love our glass door and agree it's important to know what's going on in there. We rent the downstairs of our house and wood is the only heat down there. Unfortunately our previous renter closed the door on a log that was too big and broke the glass, so there cheap option was to get a piece of steel the size of the glass. Still makes me mad.. Do you think ceramic glasss would be an option for a wood stove. any other types of glass seem WAAAAY expensive

we have a nepoloen wood stove and replacement glass is available from them, so check with the manf. it might be a in stock item. and replacement is not bad to do on mine.
I love to watch the flame show on our Pacific Energy stove, too. Also agree it's the best way to know what kind of fire you have going in there.
How long have you been burning in it? The glass on mine gets sooted up pretty quickly.View attachment 1039446

Glass door for me, I can see what the fire is doing and I like the ambience of it. Nothing better than coming in from the cold/snow and sitting next to the fire.
Mine will soot up if I have it shut down and it's just a slow rolling burn. Whenever I get the fire burning hot, it cleans the glass.
Jotul F600CB that we've had about 20 years now.

my mother s jotul. I think glass fronts kick the heat out deeper into the room . Just started year 3 with that stove and it's been great so far. Doesn't eat to much and a whole lot cheaper than propane.samaritan

All beautiful stoves, I'd like to buy one of those more ornate ones someday, but mine is worth its weight in gold to me , and It only cost me 700$ about 11 yrs ago

that jotul has no moving parts and baffles in the pipe to open and forget to close. my parents are getting up there and we spent alot more. but they cant really mess it up and burn the house down/ that heareth was specifically raised, so they can sit down to start it and maintain it.
