And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

At least once in my life, I'd like to live somewhere with a fire place like this.
That's one impressive fireplace. The WWM has a very efficient wood burning fireplace with a blower and a 200 page operator's manual. But it's nowhere as cool as this one.
The old Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite Valley has a big one like that. An amazingly small fire in a well designed fireplace like that one radiates a surprisingly large amount of heat.
What you want is a Count Rumford fireplace. Its design maximizes the radiant heat derived from the flame. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumford_fireplace
If you live someplace & have a fireplace like that you probably NEED it.
ReplyDeleteAfter my 13 year vacation in the upper mid-west I see real winters (like where you'd need that fireplace) as regularly scheduled natural disasters.
