Sitting before the fire, listening to it crackle, to the popping of the moisture in the logs, is one of my favorite pastimes.
I like fireplaces, but personally I like wood stoves better. We used to have one that had geodes mortared all around it - but the chimney was right by the stairs, and it had to go.
