At the camp, we use an airtight woodstove which is more efficient at keeping the place toasty warm during deer seasongrin

It's been a while since I've been near the fireplace but
the mantel was quite a handsome piece and the crackling,
hissing and sparks were something to behold in memory. The
warmth generated from it was spectacular.

I like to see what I'm doing. At least until the fire gets going, then I tend to just enjoy the warmth.
