Ahah! She speaks! Happy to see you up and about. Behave yourself or I  
will put you on a pure diet of fine beer.

Good memory (but perhaps you misread my plea above; don't have one to  
get rid of, want one to install). No woodstove upstairs except on the  
left end of the old gas stove. For those interested in such things,  
the old Wedgewood was built during a transition time when stoves were  
still thought to properly look as if they burned wood even though gas  
burners lurked below the iron lids.

I used a single- and then a double-barrel stove in the basement for  
many years. Got tired of having to hurry back home from dinners with  
friends. Installed a gas heater with thermostat. Now want three ways  
to cook and stay warm. Did I mention that I love utility redundancy?

I seek to sneak a narrow wood-burning stove between the end of the  
countertop and the new gas range. Nothing quite like a wood fire to  
warm up a kitchen on cold mornings, then make breakfast upon it.
