Summary: Wood burning stoves are great
Review: I am a big fan of wood burning stoves. Admittedly, I've never actually owned one or even used one, but from what I've seen on television and in the movies, I think they are fabulous. However, even though I never actually read this book, I cannot recommend it. Books are for [non-winners].

Summary: Preaching to the choir
Review: If you are THINKING about a wood stove, and wondering if it is an environmentally correct decision, if there are any real benefits to it, and have a bucket full of money available to you, this is the book to help make your decision. If you are a life long environmentalist who believes in getting off the grid but have a limited income and want practical advice about chosing a stove, used or economical, and installing it in your home, don't bother. I found this book useless.

Summary: A Must-Have-NOT for wood-stove virgins!
Review: This book concentrates on how to purchase a wood stove, the differences found among brands. We recently purchased a home that had an existing wood stove. I had never even lived in a home with a fireplace. I was looking for a book to direct me in how to start a fire, how to put out a fire if necessary, what to do if "something goes wrong", and how to maintain the fire once started, etc., this book gave me none of this. It had two pages on the topic of starting a fire. Wood-stoves are very dangerous things and I feel that this, or any book on the subject should address the dangers and these concerns.

I warn against buying this book. Don't waste your money!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A comprehensive study
Review: This book has a wealth of information for anyone who is truly interested in wood heating.
