Some other things your woodstove can do for you


Sit on the little stool and put some more wood on the fire. Or just sit there and admire the ever-changing landscape of shifting logs, blue and gold flames and red embers.

Make coffee on the hottest part of the stove. At the side, where it's a little cooler, put a wok upside down, fold your newly washed tea towels (pillowcases, towels, sheets...) and leave them until dry. Hey presto, perfectly ironed too! (And you would never catch me ironing a tea towel under any normal circumstances)

Keep a kettle on the side. Need a hot water bottle? Voila!

Dry orange peel on the top of the stove. Keep it for firelighters...

I'm still finding new things to do with my stove, and I love it.
