To make an omelet, you need to break a few eggs...and rip out a few walls...

For most of us in the Midwest and the East Coast, its been cold and wicked outside lately. Snowed all day Sunday and supposed to start again this afternoon. Temps have been between 2 and 5 today, with highs not supposed to break above 20 until Friday. Welcome to Wisconsin winter huh?

So with that being the case, the wood stove has been earning it's keep. As usual it's a beautiful 75 inside.

Let's see what you guys have going! I'll start:

I LOVE that kettle on the stove. Where did you get it?
 
Cracks me up how many animals show up in the shared photos. The shot I shared was a "promo.", kitties in workrooms are generally frowned upon. But it's my shop and 2 kitties have their very own special beds here. (should I have clicked "thumbnail" before I posted the shot?)
 
Yes, the shipping to Canada is pricey.
 
Jotul F55. Possibly my next purchase. I got to see one at the dealer today. Very nice.

Those Bostons are really nice looking heaters.
 
This is the stove in my workroom (in front of some of my work).....the thermostat kicks on and warms the space to 58-60F at 5:30AM and I light the stove at 6AM. Once the stove is rocking along, I may reload mid-morning if it's really cold, but oftentimes I don't bother. The space is always comfy, painting dries quickly, and I don't have to burn a lot of wood or break the bank to use the furnace. I absolutely love this stove... my favorite offering from Woodstock. It's not for everyone but I was sad to learn the Classi has been "retired". I love its clean lines and way the soapstone has been showcased. Quiet, elegant, and unassuming.
Beautiful room! :cool: With that stove I'm sure the furnace would never come on if you didn't want it to; Maybe you need to heat other areas of the house? I bet that solid stone front throws massive radiation when the stove is crankin'! BTW, we will need close-up pics of some of your favorite "works." :)
 
-3 degree's outside & the Hampton 300 keeping us warm ..................

Lots of awesome stoves out there. Mine burned out yesterday afternoon when I forgot to haul wood into the garage before going to work for the night. Wife wasn't as keen on the idea of hauling a bunch as I was. Had to let the furnace take over for a while until I woke up this morning.
 
55F outside. I'd show the heatpump but it's pouring rain right now. So here is a shot from earlier in the season.

Have the temps by you dropped again begreen? The temps here just broke into the double digits a while ago, and not supposed to get much better for a few days. 77 in the house now, 12 outside.

Even better than that.....I just got my gas bill and it's only $25 higher than during the warm months. Needless to say, the furnace has been getting very little exercise.
 
No, it was 51F overnight and it's already 57F! These are typical May temps. Bees are starting to come out and the grass is starting to grow quickly. Crazy weather.
