Keeping warm

Meet our best investment of 2010. We originally had a solid fuel boiler but it was on the small side and wouldn't stay lit overnight - Never underestimate how nice it is to get up to a warm kitchen, so after alot of research and deliberation we decided to look for a second hand range.

Meet Stanley...


OK, not the most streamlined or up to date model, bless him, but heats all the radiators, provides us with gallons of piping hot water now that the solar water season's over, and as an added bonus heats the oven and hotplates so we can save money on gas for cooking.
Stays lit overnight as well so within 10 minutes of getting up and us feeding him an armful of wood the house is warm...ah bliss....
