Today we had enough snow to stay home and play in the snow. The kids would play for about 15 minutes and be cold. we would come in the house take off the gear and let it dry by the stove

We have used the pellet stove to dry gloves etc.
Works great!

Oooooooooh :) Those shoes looked like big kids shoes in the photo. lol
 
I've actually used a couple kitchen chairs about 3 feet from the stove to dry out some firefighter "turn-out" gear after it has gotten pretty wet. Takes a good day or so and the house stinks a bit afterwards, but it DOES do a great job drying things out!
 
Been using one of these for years even before I
got the stove.

lol, those could be used as a cover for the pellet stove. Hell, they may even fit my snowblower.

I surprised Macman hasn't chimed in yet since those belong to his ex-girlfriend (I got her second hand)... he actually bought those for her at Fredericks of Poughkeepsie AFTER she finished her Weight Watchers diet...
