Fw: [Cob] Wood Heat Question

[Amanda Peck]

duh!

Although the only time we used the pretty covers was small kid time when we 
took out the free standing stove after it was replaced with a FURNACE for 
the whole house.  Lovely, if not all that practical house, fireplaces in 
most of the bedrooms, for instance, and no storm windows for winter.  And a 
gorgeous wraparound front porch with wisteria over one end.  And a front 
hall very likely the size of my trailer--lots more volume 12-foot ceilings 
instead of 6 1/2.  Decent in those pre-air-conditioning days in the summer 
because of the porch and the high ceilings.
