Man, was it chilly here this morning. The windshields of our cars were covered in condensation that was just this side of actual frost. Time to start gearing up for home heating season! We have a forced air heating system, but I’ve always wished we could live in a house with a fireplace. I don’t actually know anything about fireplaces, how easy or hard they are to maintain, but I know they feel cozy and it’s comforting to sit in front of one and listen to the crackle of the wood and watch the flames dance.
Plus, people with fireplaces in their homes get to have fireplace mantels, which are perfect for displaying photos and knick knacks and things. iBuyWoodStoves is a site that carries all kinds of fireplace items, including mantels in a variety of wood styles and prices. They also carry fireplace surrounds that turn the fireplace into a piece of decorative furniture. Whether your fireplace is wood burning, electric, gas, or gel fuel, the site has accessories you can use.
Naturally, iBuyWoodStoves carries, you guessed it, a variety of discount wood stoves. You can choose from top wood burning stoves from the most trusted manufacturers. You’ll get a quality product at factory direct discount prices. Check out the site for anything you need for your fireplace or wood stove.

Fwiw, knowing what I know now? No fireplaces. Wood stoves all the way – they’re much more efficient and don’t suck heat out of the house like most decorative fireplaces. I like hanging around in my tank top with the kids running around in diapers/underwear in the dead of winter when it’s 10* outside and 80* inside. Pretty groovy.
Oh, yes fireplaces are very decorative and functional of cold winters
. IBuyWoodStoves really has a wide range of fireplaces and useful things around them. I just found one grate that i was looking for a long time. Thanks
Wood stoves? That’s going back a bit.
Jean-Luc ~ Not really, at least when you’re left without electricity or natural gas in the dead of winter every few years like where I live.
I won’t even get into the financial aspect of it all though…
The more I look into the ‘old fashioned’ ways, the more I like them. It’s a challenge to be frugal and often times it will take some real work. Returning to basic survival skills, like chopping wood, building fires, hanging out your clothes to dry, require both physical and mental involvement. Now is a very good time to invest in nostagia.
Thanks for this post! My husband and I are looking seriously into getting a wood stove, if our landlords will let us. Propane and gas are so expensive, and wood is free around my house! It’s a no-brainer!
I just want to say that it is great post. Thanks for sharing this post.

I checked out the site you linked, and I really like the vent-free log sets. I’m going to have to get myself one before it gets too cold!
