Hi Barry ,
First, congratulations to you and your wife on your grand baby girl!! Nothing like grand children to keep you grounded and... busy...!
No, I have not stayed at my place in winter yet, but my friends Gerald and his wife have one and they rave about it and make me buy one for my living room as the fireplace there does not work properly. And that is the smallest wood stove of that brand. They do have bigger if your place needs a stronger one.
On my return from Africa, I will be in France the last week of september and will be in Abruzzo for a week and a week in Tuscany in October. If you guys will still be in Carrufo at that time, we should meet for a drink with Gianni and Mira.
