Speaking of stoves

We´re pretty sure we´ll be buying the Hergom L-07 CC wood burning cooker with a water deposit that will serve radiators in the bedrooms and baths.  We saw one at a house under renovation and took heart from the fact that it seemed quite straightforward and their space was considerably bigger and had more radiators.

But as the lovely Pueblo Girl advised me, the combination of cooking in olive oil and floating wood smoke and ash, doesn´t sound appealing.  And the variety of range hoods these days is staggering.



The stove will be against an interior stone wall, so the stovepipe will go straight up to the roof.  A small gas stove will go alongside for summer cooking, so ideally the hood should serve both surfaces.

It's just a matter of personal preferences and what matters the most you have installed it the way it's needed to be...

  4. Would that stove stay in all night in the winter and does it burn pellets too?
