Over the years humanity has slowly moved away from the tried and true methods of living; to a new supermarket, energy dependence. It's so weird from the way I grew up. With family members getting together to can food for the winter. Chopping firewood, raising our own chickens. I admit it's messy but this is the only lifestyle that will survive. I feel terrible for the people in Texas today. Yet I am justified in the fact that I turned an old water heater into a wood stove and so many other things I've had the urge to do lately. Stay safe folks and find ways to become less needy on a dying infrastructure. Retarded policies are kicking liberals in the ass but their not smart enough to feel shame. Do not become a statistic.

The kind that bring in air from outside are really more of a open-face woodstove. I guess if you want to call that a fireplace...

The one in my folk's home, built in 77, is very pretty - it was a locally cut sandstone face that was supposed to be the model for the builder (that went out of business shortly after) but it's totally useless because it does the same thing - sucks the heat right out of the house and up the chimney. We used a Wonder Coal stove vented into the chimney for many years before replacing it with a whole-house model and vent pipe/registers.
