I didn't know anything about wood stoves, until I lived in Massachusetts for 4 yrs. I first lived in the Berkshires, & the Air BNB had a wood stove in the finished basement. Thankfully the person who I later befriended was born and raised in New England, & taught me everything. I see them as completely efficient way to not only heat your home cheaply, but also to cook and dry clothing, if the power goes out. I think every home should have at least 1.
