on this day in 1960 was the start of the Greensboro sit-ins, a compelling stand for civil and human rights, a spark that helped ignite a fire of positive change in America. We can do this today America: the power of love and decency is stronger than the forces of hate and cruelty.

Shredded wastepaper for tinder + longleaf pinecones for kindling + hand-split wood exclusively from fallen, dying, or hazardous trees = abundant, sustainable, beautiful heat.
And because the stove is highly efficient and properly sized, it produces zero visible smoke.
