Yea Jotul stoves

We had a Jotul coal burning stove in Delta years ago that we loved. We didn't have any way to have a stove in Pasco so we heated our house with an electric furnace and heat pump which raised our electric bill about 150 a month each winter. Well here in the east, with some of the most expensive electricity in the nation everyone heats with oil or gas and most spend 300 to 500 a month in the winter to heat their house. So we got another Jotul stove, this time a wood burner and it's been great! It's heated our house. The only time I have used our gas (LP-propane) furnace was a couple of weekends ago when I went to Utah for the weekend. We have an on demand gas water heater and gas dryer and will have a gas cook top when we get the cabinets done and the cook top installed but hope that use will be minimal. And around here with all the woods I've been able to collect all the wood I've needed, just had to rent a splitter to split it. The wood stove is a real blessing.
