5. When I lived in Syracuse NY I had wood. Woke up in the morning
freezing because the fire had gone out. Went outside to get logs. Dig under the snow and grab some and take them inside. Then go find kindling. Once I got the fire started it would take about 2-3 hours to get it warm enough for me to feel life was worth living. Everything was fine except I had to keep putting wood in about every 5-6 hours. Next day start all over again. Have a regular fireplace but use gas as much as possible. That way when and if gas disappears you can still use it for wood. A glass or metal cover works well so the heat inside the room doesn't go up the chimney.
