Here are a couple of photos of our new external wood burner... It is called a HOTTI.
In the morning, we heat the house with our regular propane furnace. Then we start a good fire in this thing and a blower motor kicks in and heats the house very well. We throw another armload of wood in at supper time, and it carries us thru to evening....We had lots of trees blown down, and some taken down by us, so we have lots of firewood. We really do need a log splitter, but it's not in the budget right now.
We have electric blanket throws, to use for watching TV....(thank you Rebecca and Brian and Kids!!!) So as you see...we are comfy warm! Now....going outside is another thing.
I always think of one of my sister Lindas sayings...."Did you get dressed at the Clown College today?"..... With thermal long johns, big fuzzy socks, jeans, sweat shirt, hoodie, scarf, hat and gloves...(none matching)...and topped off with big ol' farm boots....it really does look like I got dressed at the Clown College...winter semester!!

Is that an electrical cord coming down from the roof?
Well, in a way....it is the "ground" wire to a lightening rod, up on the roof. We have lightening storms that would make you crawl under your bed...(if you'd fit!!)
That is very interesting especially since we don't have them in this area.
