And lo, it came about, that on 16 Aug 2003 22:10:18 -0700 in
rec.crafts.metalworking , jim rozen was inspired to
utter:


I'm beginning to see the wisdom of living in
a small cabin with a large franklin stove.
And a big woodpile. Two rooms and a path.

Had an great aunt & uncle living like that. Of course, on baking day, once
the inside temp went over 80 they'd just open the front door, regardless of the
time of year.

I've wanted what I know as a Bavaria Stove. About three by two and five
feet tall, covered in Ceramic Tiles, little firebox at the bottom. Small fire
heats the masonry, and it radiates all day. Nice.

The cliche is that history rarely repeats herself. Usually she just
lets fly with a frying pan and yells "Why weren't you listening
the first time!?"
