Everyone knows how having a wood stove saves heating costs, particularly when you harvest your own wood. Another great way to use your stove to save energy and money is to keep as many kettles and pots of water warming on the stove top as possible (we have three).
This technique not only helps keep your home humidified during the winter months, but also provides a ready supply of hot water for washing dishes, cooking, or making tea or other hot drinks. We even use this water to run the dishwasher and to wash white laundry in the washing machine. Be very careful how you pour the water into these appliances, though--it really does get hot!
