Come On, Baby...
I drive a Prius, eat organic food, and recycle. But I'm yearning to snuggle with my sweetheart in front of a roaring fire on cold winter nights. Is there any way to reconcile my green leanings with fireside trysts?
—Deborah Springer, Springfield, Illinois
This is a burning issue for many. Some feel that wood stoves are the way to go, since wood is a renewable resource. Others contend that wood smoke releases multiple contaminants—including creosote, soot, and ash—into the air, where they go on to embed themselves uncomfortably in your lungs. For this group, natural gas, propane, and clean-burning fuels are the solution. A third faction thinks that any kind of recreational flame is an unnecessary and hazardous frill. We believe that we've found some fire choices that are more environmentally friendly that the hearths of old, as well as transportable and flue-free.
