So I have stuffed the stove with wood, refilled the woodbox, and I'm going to bed where it's warmer.

I've had quite enough winter, thank you.

*offers you a hot water bottle filled with very warm, almost hot water*

The house has wood heating only, or is it wood+electric? My parents have a Wood+electric heating, and they need to put some wood in the fireplace every 2 days or so when it is cold. But fortunately they have a fairly well-designed chimney so the heat won't escape straight up and most of it stays within the "firewall" which is the brick and cement lining around it.

Geothermal is fairly efficient what I have heard, but the initial cost is a bit high. However, I have heard it will pay for itself over the next few years. I am glad to hear the stove is a modern design. Too many people keep on using the ancient designs and wasting a lot of energy and firewood.

I think I am pretty good at starting a fire myself too, but I haven't really had the need for the skill yet. It does come in handy when going to a party with friends at a cabin. After seeing someone use half a box of matches I ask if I can give it a try. :)
