A year and 2 months ago I ordered a small porcelain finished cast iron wood stove. I received it about a month ago and just finished the installation.

| New wood burning stove with temporary copper heat deflector and new stained glass window |
The idea is that this stove is small enough to burn small stuff that would normally just be a nuisance here in the woods, stuff to small for the large stove. It is small enough to be able to use year round, should we need to. It is just big enough to take the edge off a cold kitchen in the winter. The kitchen is cold because it has a tile floor that is on a concrete slab, directly on the ground, not a good choice for this part of the world unless your building a large frig or freezer.
While I was having to dirty up the corner of the kitchen anyway I decided to put in a stained glass window that was a gift from years ago. The tile work and the table top for the stove was from material that we already had, so was the window but for the outer piece of glass that I got for a few bucks from the local hardware store.
This is just another part of the garden/farm, and an important one as it is refining the kitchen where we prepare and eat the food we grow.
Hopefully the winter will be a little less long and cold this time around.
