> But it's FIRE. Inside!!!
I have never owned a house that did not have at least one fireplace.
Firewood warms you many times.
Once when you fell it.
Once when you buck it.
Once when you split it.
Once when you stack it.
Once when you lug it inside.
Once when you load the fireplace.
Once when it burns (releasing all that stored sunlight.....yes, that is sunlight energy, stored in the carbon bonds).
And, finally, cleaning the dang thing, once in a while.Not bad, IMHO.
