Burns are terribly painful, especially on your hands.
Every year I bump my hand at least once putting wood in the stove. It's an awkward height for my bad back, so tricky keep stable. Then I figured out if I sit on a chair while adding wood, it doesn't happen. duh, takes a little while to teach old doge new tricks! Now I don't have to smell that burned skin smell and no more scars.![]()
I would have to get a new stove. The knobs are on the back and I am short so I have t reach over hot pots and pans to turn off the burners
