And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Came across one of those cast iron fans that requires no power and sits on top of the stove to move the hot air around the room. Now THAT seems like a great upgrade. This, while beautiful, needs to be functional too.
Think the decorative dragon just adds thermal mass to the stove, doesn't hurt the efficiency. Just adds time lag to both heating up and cooling down. And yes, it shouldn't be on the bare wood floor.
Whata stove!

This is a vintage Vermont Iron 'Elm' wood stove with a dragon motif.
ReplyDeleteThe cast iron stoves were handmade in the mountains of Vermont from 1976 to 1989.
The dragon sculpture is a distinctive feature of this particular model.
It is a fully functional, high-efficiency wood-burning stove.
No cooking when the power goes off.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have it sitting on an unprotected wood floor like that.
