Yesterday in the Home and Garden section of our newspaper, there was a big article about heating with woodstoves or pellet stoves. Some jackass quoted in the article referred to this sort of heating as "European zone" heating.
As you know, we heat with a woodstove here at Blackrock, and have for some years. So I took a photo to illustrate "European zone" heating:
Bonjour
Our old cat used to sleep by the woodburner and he would ge so hot you couldn't even pet him or you would burn your hand (not sure whay he never spontaneously combusted).
ReplyDeleteLOL...We have ours in the living room and that is why it is called the living room...all the other are too cold to live in!
ReplyDeleteLove wood heat, would love it in every room though!
Isn't it funny how people always try to make necessity so cute and quaint?
ReplyDeleteAsses.
There is nothing cozy about freezing your butt off. I don't care what you call it.
ReplyDeleteAfter our fire last year, we put a ventless gas heater in our basement and we leave the basement door open and the heat rises and helps take the edge off the entire house. Otherwise, we huddle around the radiators.
ReplyDeleteI am pretentious and will call it that forever more. When people note that their butts freeze to our toilet seat, I will raise one eyebrow and tell them of our European zone heating.
ReplyDeleteWe also have Little House in the Big Woods heating - in which we send my mil to bed with a baked potato in her mittens.
Here's hoping your European zone AND your cajones stay warm...
ReplyDeleteI have no cajones but i do keep warm with my electric blanket or my little space heater. Thank god for electricity. If power ever goes out we do have a fireplace we use as a backup. So far that hasn't been needed here in the city.
