Fun Failure

I had this great idea!  Use an old wood cook stove to do my canning on.  There's always so much to be done on the stove during the summer, and why have all that heat in the house using expensive propane?  Well, it took about 3 hours to get the beets boiling, and I never did get the water bath to a boil, so it was brought inside, and of course only took a few minutes.  Our great attempts were certainly fun, and great for pictures :)
