This wagon from HF. I made the rack and can carefully pile it about double what is on there in this picture. I roll it thru the house from one end to the other loading it from a side porch from a wheelbarrow load. It never goes out side so tires don't track up wifes clean house. One full load of hardwood last about 3 days in my LOPI Liberty. We heat with wood no central heat but do have 2 empire direct vent LP heaters. One smaller one in the living room where the stove is only is used as backup. Wood stove runs 24/7. Cut my wood from my own 10 acres. I was out yesterday looking at 3 large ash the woodpeckers are working on hard so they will be coming down soon. I think the emerald ash borer was an earlier "covid type" gift from the far east.

Gathered Christmas Day at the farm and the family room has the smallest Lopi wood stove.

Some of the kids had never seen a wood stove or a wood stove in use.

They are banned in new construction and a bounty paid to remove existing.

The family room soon became the place to be…

Accessories include an old copper carrier, fireplace tools and a cast aluminum kettle.

They don’t use it often with so many no burn days and when they do it never leaves the cold zone so the glass is always blackened. When I make the fire the glass is crystal clear and the fire hot.

The kids were fascinated by the warmth and comfort with the parents saying before people knew better this is how they kept warm…
