They have some electric fireplaces now that are incredible fakes. I saw them on TV a while ago and I was amazed.

That said, I don't mind a campfire--as long as it's outside. We hung out next to one for several hours last weekend with some old friends and had a great time (though it was terribly smoky, HA!) Maybe beer makes it tolerable? ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-51359712277410583392015-10-19T15:30:13.162-04:002015-10-19T15:30:13.162-04:00I'm just going to say how satisying I find fak...I'm just going to say how satisying I find fake fires. After 2 years of heating solely (&incredibly frugally) by woodstove in rural WA state, the last 10 years here in coastal Alaska have been virtually wood fire free. I find my asthmatically lungs the happier for it, but my spirit the crankier. And so I learned the utter joy of the fake woodstove electric heater. I rarely turn on the actual inefficient & $$ heat function, but those warm flames? Joy. What was fascinating is that my collie would go lay down in front of it - the fact that it emitted no heat was inconsequential. Like me, she just loved the hearthiness of it. Many friends have eyerolled me over this, & I get it, but they often get past the tacky factor, just as I did. And then I have the great fun of being shown, rather sheepishly, the new fake fire at a friend's house.

The newer, more efficient stoves don't smell very much-inside or out. It just wouldn't be fall, if we didn't have to go get several truck loads of wood (we are a year ahead with our wood , so it seasons properly). As for the candle, my husband just plan hates smelly candles with the exception of beeswax....so it wouldn't fly here I'm afraid. <br />Barbbbarnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399421440007975826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-61137694222227044972015-10-17T15:08:14.472-04:002015-10-17T15:08:14.472-04:00Wow!

I love it when candles get snuffed out and you can still smell the wick. Or when you light a match and then put it out. Kids are beyond stupid, btw. When that's what creates a target, they need to get more creative. And happily, now you can just use your central heating and forego ever turning on a fireplace again!<br /><br />PS: The one thing that's keeping me from having a nervous breakdown about my next reno is that I'm getting a woodstove. I want it so much, I'll just have to put up with the rest.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-71366056281040149682015-10-17T14:03:45.912-04:002015-10-17T14:03:45.912-04:00Growing up with a fireplace and thus stinking like...Growing up with a fireplace and thus stinking like this all winter (and getting made fun of for it at school), I can't imagine anyone going out of their way to get the smell. But, to each their own. Glad you found a candle that your husband can tolerate, though I feel his pain--I LOVE scented candles, but the smell gets overwhelming quickly and as soon as you snuff it out, all you can smell is the smoke. :-(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
