There's nothing better than warming the hands over a wood stove. Also, there's nothing worse than the smell of scorching gloves laid on the stove to dry. Mom used to get on my case for laying my wet gloves, sometimes laced with a little manure, on the wood stove to get a quick drying before I went back outside to finish chores.
When I was a kid we had the Round Oak stove in the basement and a cook stove in the kitchen, along with the oil burning heater in the dining room. I was the only boy in the family so I had the assignment of carrying the wood down to the basement and the ashes back up. Then the cobs had to be supplied for the cook stove.
I still live in the same house but the wood burning stoves are long gone and will never be back. I do heat the shop with wood and have for 25 years so burning wood is not completely gone here, it's just gone from the house. I live in a fairly 'wood deprived' area here on the Iowa plains so going down the hill to get a winter's supply isn't as easy, unless I burn cottonwood or rotten soft maple from abondoned farm groves.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
