Wow, that is certainly a beauty. One question, the rocker on the right--how do you keep it from marking up the hardwood floors?

Thanks! Hasn't been much of a problem, because the rocker doesn't get much use. Bigger problem is the half mile of "Thomas and Friends" wood train track, just out of view. That has been doing a number on the varnish.

I took the entire stove out day before yesterday.
Do you do this every year??! I remember some of the old timers used to take theirs apart and put them in the barn to clean until the next fall...Glad I didn't live back then.
I keep my fatwood and starters behind the door to the kitchen, tools stay by the insert, and the gloves and such go into the gypsy kettle. Wood hoop stays out on the porch/carport all year.

More like the old timers took the stove out so there would be more room. I'll never forget the happy day when we took the stoves out. It was almost like moving into a new house because there was so much room suddenly.
 
The real old timers used to pack up their tents or yurts and move with the animals to the summer meadows. But the stove followed perhaps set up outdoors. They still needed something to cook on.
 
I was having the same conversation wtith my wife this weekend. She wants me to put the stuff in the attic. Though I dont want to, she "offered" to help which means, well you married guys know what that means. LOL>


She stopped doing that when I took it as help... stacking 13 cords of wood.
 
I think I will pass on lugging five hundred pounds of stove out of of the fireplace. It looks happy there. Hopefully for many years.

God willing, this will be the last damn time I move a stove, or stoves, for at least the next few years...

Defiant moving to the living room.
30 being installed in the den.
Encore being pulled out and a block off plate to the entire back of the fireplace is being put in.

But ya gotta buy a 30 first.
 
None of it's in my way. I've no other "summertime" use for what little space it takes up, which is almost all up on the raised hearth with the stove. I don't move anything to
anywhere. Rick

Let me put it in context.

I don't want Rick's stove. I want his house!

And his tractor too. :)

But I know what he would rather have than all of the houses, stoves and tractors on the planet.

Sad to say I think I know as well . . . and his friends here at hearth.com have not forgotten either . . . I know I for one often think of Rick.
 
It means that if you let her put your stuff "away," it will be so far away that you'll never find it again! ;lol

So very very true Woody....Mr Gamma lost a pair of cowboy boots 14 years ago that way....
Hey, he looked stupid in them...(he's not a cowboy boot type...)

I put some motorcycle parts away once; my hubby didn't even own a motorcycle.
