Today's the big family gathering at our house.

Last year my fireplace was still very new to me at this time of year. When we had this party, everyone was sweating. I think the temp in the livingroom was in the mid-80's. Took a bit of friendly teasing about that one.

This year I am an EXPERIENCED wood burner. I knew when to stoke up the fire and how many splits to put in to end up with a more comfortable room temperature for the time of day when the company will be here. I took into account all the factors - including the expected outside temperatures.

We'll see if anyone notices. Ideal situation would be that no one says anything at all. Like a good waiter or waitress, this is something that shouldn't draw attention to itself.

Enjoy the company...
 
Don't forget all the extra body heat.

Have a great party and Merry Christmas.
 
Yes, all that extra body heat makes a big difference. Hope you have a great party! Merry Christmas to all.
