not quite IronHeart wood-burning warmth generation

The Pirkles' Perch wood burning at this seasonal tiny vacation cottage where we had thought we must replace the 1976 (50th Anniversary gift to Doc and Chee-Chee) but instead we wound up reconstructing the floor (bottom) of the burn chamber. This wood burner is a Jotul - and is not actually a stove but more like an open "fireplace" with screen. The cottage is small and neither air-tight nor insulated (from cold or from heat).
