Logan and Heather Ward were having a tough time brewing their coffee. Logan split firewood for the wood stove as Heather ground beans with a cast iron grinder. But after an hour or more of futile flailings at flaps and dampers just to get the stove to draw so the water could boil, the Shenandoah Valley couple were still soldiering on with empty mugs.
