Oh, the last house I lived had one of these stoves, it is so useful, as you can cook and keep the house warm at the same time. There's nothing comparable to the smell of burning wood and the heat of a fire in a cold winter night, and the food you cook in a wood-burning stove has a very unique taste (much better than gas stoves in my opinion). Making some coffee by a wood-burning stove is also very nice, as the coffee also ends up with a different taste than the one you make by a common gas stove.
