I’m entering the new season with a sense of resolve: I intend to keep my home warm.
Even though we’ve been heating exclusively with wood since moving to the homestead, I find that I tend to think of wood as an auxiliary heat source, even somewhat of a luxury. This comes from how I grew up.
While it’s true that I’ve been singing the praises of our Sun Oven for more than a year now (see Cooking With Solar) it recently proved, unequivocally, that it is an indispensable item on our homestead: it made pizza!
Now that it’s truly proved its worth, we’re keeping it! (Photo: Mark A. Zeiger).
