My Christmas present came yesterday!!! It's a restored 1890s Charm Crawford antique wood-burning kitchen stove. We've been dreaming about this for years!
It's going to be a long time until I get to try it out, since the previous owners of our house chopped off the old chimney at the roofline then filled the whole thing with sand (yes, sand—all the way up. Some people...) Gabriel's going to have to install a new chimney when the weather clears (probably in the spring.) When it is hooked up there will, of course, be a steep learning curve—but I can't wait!
