Solar room continues to AMAZE me. Is highly UNDERRATED

[Chain]

It is a Majestic WarmMajic 36" wood fireplace (double-walled for forced convection and with tempered glass folding windows).

We use it for back-up heating if the power fails and, of course, for creating the kind of cozy, lazy atmosphere that you so eloquently describe!

PS: I usually drink red Port although Southern Comfort (does that even count as a Bourbon?) hits the spot pretty well too. Just a little harder to get here, unless we drive 55 miles to Jackson Hole or Idaho Falls.

I'm not sure if Southern Comfort is actually a Bourbon. I prefer Old Grand Dad or Jim Beam.....Jack Daniels always works nicely as well. Nothing beats a good wood fire while enjoying some spirits...

If you can't build a whole room then a solar box heater can work very well and fits below any south facing window.

I've seen plans in various places, but this version is pretty good.
