Duo Dickinson, resident expert, on Wood Stoves

So despite the temperature being unseasonably high in Los Angeles, this segment on CNN really makes me want a wood stove in my house. My father swore by them -- we had a huge one in the hall which, he insisted, heated the whole house. (It didn't, my most abiding childhood memory is that of freezing, even in my bed). Even better is that my friend Duo Dickinson, the famous architect & author, is the star of the piece.
