Charlie, it really is tough too beat a wood stove for heat.
We've been out in the hills for the last few days moving cows and while we're there stay in an old log house.
It has a pretty old halfway wore out Monarch in the kitchen and of course we fire it up every fall.
We'll bring a chainsaw and scrounge broken corral rails and posts for camp wood.
This year the chopping block was getting pretty soft in the center so I climbed up on a REALLY old dozed up pile of cabin remains and cut a new block out of an old cedar log.
Wood was still nice and solid so I cut another chunk off and we split it. Smelled and looked great and burned like a hot sonuvabitch!
