There's nothing better than warming the hands over a wood stove. Also, there's nothing worse than the smell of scorching gloves laid on the stove to dry. Mom used to get on my case for laying my wet gloves, sometimes laced with a little manure, on the wood stove to get a quick drying before I went back outside to finish chores.
When I was a kid we had the Round Oak stove in the basement and a cook stove in the kitchen, along with the oil burning heater in the dining room.
