Out at the farm house we still have a wood fired tiled kitchen stove that looks quite similar to this one. It's perfect for getting the place warm quickly in winter!
Lighting it for the first time after summer, particularly when it's not that cold yet requires heating up the chimney, either by lighting paper in the cleanout door or using a blow torch. Otherwise the kitchen becomes unbearable with smoke.
