[Stoves] newcomers

[Tami Bond]

Charlie,
Since you've just recently gone through this process of starting up and 
learning, your comments were very interesting to me. I wonder if it's 
worth having a section on the Stoves page specifically for new people, 
describing the questions that other newcomers have come with, and 
pointing to the tabs that they found most useful.

Welcome Stephanie! and thanks as always to Tom for keeping the fabulous 
page going!!

Some of my favorite tabs are Design, Stoves, and Country - all of which are compendiums according to those subjects; there is not room for much description within these long lists since, they are only meant to point to articles.  You just have to start clicking on links and something will turn up that is appropriate for your situation.  And then ask us all for details of those stoves.
