Hello Gordon,

I'm still boat-shopping at this point, but I wanted to ask you about 
your woodstove.  Having lived with them for years in up-north cabins, I 
love them and look forward to having one aboard a boat, despite the 
added "hassle" vs. a diesel or other type (although you sure can store 
a lot of BTUs in a gallon of diesel!).

Just wondering which brand/type you have, and how you like it as 
compared to other wood stoves.  I've seen the "Sardine" model available 
for purchase.  I wonder if there are any with the little glass door so 
you can view the flames?  My own "land" woodstoves never had them, but 
I have friends who do have the glass door and it is nice!

Do you ever burn the old-fashioned charcoal?  I never even knew about 
it until I started researching boat wood-stoves.

Thanks,

--- Rachel
