They could’ve saved money on those experiments if they’d just asked me! Fires are one of my most favorite things in the world! An unused hearth is just a crime! The only excuse for not having fires consistently lit is 80+ degree weather (F). There’s seriously nothing more relaxing and meditative. Where do you find enlightenment and nirvana? Bonfires. ---

Sometimes I’ll put a YouTube video of a crackling fire on fullscreen while I’m milling about the house, lol! And I’ve become the designated fire-builder at any house that has a wood fireplace! ---

I know it’s not the same as a real fire place, but a few years ago I lived in a deep woods Oregon forest , in a big 5th wheel. I had some conversions done so I could use an electric fireplace. It was so realistic , put out heat and sound , and was so relaxing, especially with candles and oils around, and rain hitting the roof. I loved it sooo much! I’d curl up in my big cozy down comfy bed with tea And watch the fire. ---

Electric fires are great, too! My dad uses one, and it is beautiful!
