Keeping Cellar Frost Safe With a Small Stove
In winter it is nearly impracticable to prevent frost damage to vegetables and fruit kept in cellars. A small second hand stove placed in the cellar, with a chimney extending to the bottom, keeps the space warm enough on cold days yet ventilated, limiting wood and coal costs to about fifty cents per winter. Potatoes can be protected from chilling without risking freezing.
