We installed one four years ago after having an indoor stove for many years. I wish we'd done it 20 years ago! It wasn't cheap-spent about $8,000 including installation/parts. We figured at the LP prices at the time, we'd have it paid for in 7 years. With LP the way it is today, it's almost paid for now. We heat the house and the shop with the same amount of wood we'd been using before, and we haven't had to buy any more LP. We love ours!

brands for stoves...

I need to buy a new stove (and frig) and was wondering if you guys could tell me what brands you prefer and why. I don't need bells and whistles just something that's going to last. Thanks for sharing

RE: Outside woodburning stoves - anyone have one, how do you like it, and how expensive (sm)
was it to install? Thanks for any info you can offer.

We are paying as we go.... We also have 2 wood stoves, BUT...
the problem you can run into is that your heating system won't call for heat because the inside of the house is warm, then the water in your heating pipes just sits and goes cold and can freeze and burst as it runs along some of the outer walls of the house. That happened to us last winter and cost 500 dollars to call a plumber out.

Help, need advice on glasstop stoves

I am renting a place for the summer and the owners have a GE Monogram black glass top stove. It was in perfect condition when I arrived. I did some cooking, got the normal amount of grease spatter that I do when cooking. No problem I thought. There is some Windex in the cupboard that they left behind. So I used a papertowel and Windex. Then after that I saw in the cupboard some glass top cleaner that is recommended for that particular stove. So I finished cleaning the top of the stove iwth the cleaner.

Part of the surface came off on the two big burners!!! I have asked some people and they say oh that's normal wear and tear. But how can that be!!

Then, I decided to boil eggs the other morning. I thought I would try something - I made sure that the bottom of the pan was absolutely dry, the top of the stove was dry and clean - and I used a burner that I had not used previously. No water spilled over, no mess was made. Phheewww, what a relief. Until .... I had a friend over and showed her the stove and to my shock, the back burner which I had not used before had little marks/chippings on it!!

Does anyone have a stove like this? What should I do? I'm renting the place and I'm very nervous about telling these people (who I've never met) about what I did to their stove! Has this happened to anybody out there??

No, have 2 wood stoves and 4 cords of wood that some old guy
