2. One of the VERY few things I miss here in Tucson...

...is settling back in front of a crackling, dancing fire
while looking out frost-doilied windows as the wind
urgently moans and the snow
swirls
down.

Not that I miss it, well... um... you know... much.

3. I think what you mean is a controlled fire, like in a fire place. It's not

unusual for people to get their fire place going wrong, and burn down the whole house. Takes all the romance and coziness right out of it.

I like wood burning stoves, too.
But do remember those words, ps, controlled burn.
