Do you have a fireplace/Do you have a fire?

[greenthumbjan]

We have burn days now. Very dry here.  Fire in the fireplace is cozy and romantic.

Have one but only allowed to use gas in it. Looks nice and less maintenance. Occasionally use my chimenea in the back yard even though I think it is illegal unless you are cooking. I just keep some hot dogs and marshmallows on hand in case someone comes knocking.

Nope I do not but would be nice

We have a fireplace, but we're not really allowed to use this very often due to weather conditions (unhealthy air conditions ban). I use to like using the fireplace when I was little when we were less environmentally friendly and using paper as kindle.

No fireplace or fire.

I have a fireplace in my summer home -- obviously don't use it in the summer.

For many years, we would use it in late fall or winter if we were there, but eventually got away from using it.  It seems that more heat when up the chimney than warmed the room.

Gas fireplace at home.

No fireplace for me.

I have one but never used it. It's gas and being this is an old house, I am not sure if it's working properly. So I just stick with the central heating unit. Although I am thinking of replacing the old gas one and just go with wood to heat up in this cold winter for next year.

it has been one hell of a cold winter here in iowa.  i wish that we had a  fireplace because i would so be using it.  it would be wonderful to snuggle down in front of a warm fire right now actually.  maybe in the next house we will be able to get a house with a fireplace.

I wish i have a fireplace, but I have good ol central heat/air. I would love to make a fire and get really cozy on those really cold days!

We don't have a fireplace and I miss having one.  When I was young we would have a fire going and one of my Chihuahuas would get as close as she could comfortably get and stay for a long time.

I had a fire place at two different places I lived. I haven't had a fire place in years though and I really wish I still had one. They're really nice to have on cold winter nights plus you can sort of camp out indoors and make s'mores or roast hotdogs and such.

No fireplace here.  It would come in handy during power outages though.  Our furnace is fueled by gas and powered by electricity.

Yep, have and use the fireplace all the time. It is a freestanding one, and i am going to replace it this year with a newer one.  Sure cuts down my gas bill.  And we always are out cutting free firewood. So i don't have to pay for the fuel either. It is work but the exercise is good for us.
