It's the hearth stove that has carried us through the long wait and made the kitchen/ dining room cozy despite the lack of floor, the lack of window trim, the lack lamps and the lack of many other details. Our European friends love to gather at our house after an afternoon with the kids on the slopes or a walk in the snow with the dog. Since we all love to remember the kachelofen of our youth we end up reminiscing about winter in Germany (or Switzerland, or Austria) while drinking Glühwein heated in the oven. Thanks a lot for your work. Anja P.
