Foxfire

Sounds like i'll be spending tomorrow moving one of our Vermont Casting wood stoves out to my wood shop. My wife and i moved in to her grandparents place (both gone and missed) which has 2 VC stoves in it. A while back her grandparents had a chimney fire and i was told that the flue for the smaller stove was closed up. As it turns out, the house only has one flue and it's already pulling double duty with the larger stove and the oil furnace. Anyway my mother-in-law gave me the go ahead to move the unused stove out to my shop. My grandfather-in-law was a duck/decoy carver and had had a kerosene stove in the shop which i removed and replaced with a wall hung propane heater. I'll basically be redoing what he had done so it shouldn't be all that much work since the roughing in has already been done.
The real bonus as i see it is that i have a ton of downed pine in the woods behind my place which i've been opting to not burn in the house that i can now burn the heck out of. Well that and i won't have to worry about another $500-$1000 propane bill to heat my shop ever again. Needless to say i'm a pretty happy camper.
