It was my neighbor's firepit at a Christmas party we went to last weekend...

Those babies generate a lot of heat.

I hadn't actually spotted it till you mentioned it!

The fire channel? Sounds interesting...does it include wild fires as well as fireplace fires? Or what sorts?

It is on a pay per view channel.
Very relaxing and you can hear the fire crackling in the background.
It is like having a real fireplace where is your TV.
Gives the house a nice, cozy, warm ambience.

edited because I left out a word. duh.

I figured either firepit or that you STILL didn't know that a "splash"
of brandy in flame-finishing a sauted dish didn't equal a "pint" of
brandy at tableside.

CaliforniaPeggy's cherries jubilee? Sublime!!!! And yes... they were
well WORTH my left eyebrow.

Yikes! 15 degrees???

And I get cold when it gets down into the 40's!

But we have a more temperate climate than you do in Northern New York..

Glad you came by!
