Wait, wood-burning fireplaces are gross? Do you mean aesthetically or conceptually?
I doubt too many in Florida depend on them for heat like they might have in past decades, but can't fireplaces still be enjoyed for what they are? Cozy to sit near, fun to watch/cook over, great for incinerating incriminating documents, etc. As long as the nights/winters get cool enough they're still nice for some things.
- silisili 4y agoAh sorry, I meant gross as is in it's usually 90 and humid and you're already sweating looking at houses, then the idea of more heat makes you ill(at the time). In that area, it would very rarely drop below 60 in waking hours, even in the winter. I'm guessing it used to get a bit colder 40 years ago. It also makes me wonder about climate zones, as you're not supposed to be able to grow coconut palms there, but there were a healthy amount thriving...
