LOL... I think you'll find it works much better because you need your wood ON those hot coles to keep it going! You'll be a pro in no time!

Had one in the house I grew up in and it was so exciting compared to people who had electric fires. However, ducted gas heating in my current house is awesome in its own ways too!

That darn thing frustrates the heck out of me. Last weekend I was able to get and keep it burning all day, nice and hot. Last night, no luck at all. Not sure it's worth all the trouble (finding and cutting/chopping wood) but it sure is nice when it's burning.

Had to throw the "Quest for Fire" word for "fire" in there! I'm not worried about the spelling, because after all, they were cave people! AHTHRA!

We moved to a house without a fireplace a little over a year ago. We miss it so much!! Granted, we live near Savannah, GA and rarely need a fire but we sure do LOVE a good fire when it turns cold enough. My Hubby taught me how to build a good fire (former boy scout) and I got pretty proficient at it after much practice. On the really really cold days Hubby would bring the wood close to the house before he left for work and I would get the fire going first thing in the morning. It would burn and burn and burn all day long. SO WONDERFUL!!!! Geez!! I miss our fireplace!! I am getting so envious of all your fire-building posts.
