They can be expensive new, and often not as well made as the old ones. I'd look in real rural communities for them for sale, I have found good deals that way. But not in antique stores or what not. They are priced higher there. I have lived where electricity goes out quite regularly, so I think I would be foolish to rely on electric heat. But we sure could use your husbands skills when it comes to wiring from time to time! Electricity is like a complex 1000 piece puzzle! Shoot, I know how lucky we are to have found the stoves.

I've been drooling over wood cook stoves for years, but boy are they pricey! What wonderful fortune to have one given to you. I keep gently encouraging my husband to install at the very least a wood stove for supplemental heat. But, being an electrician, he is very focused on baseboard heaters to save on propane costs... The twice yearly power outages are on my side though. I'm enjoying your blog - Looking forward to the story about the stone wall. Its another thing my husband always brings up when discussing a stove. I can tell you that I am sooo jealous right now. I’ve been drooling over wood cook stoves for years, but boy are they pricey!
