Dear Stovers,
One thing I have been thinking about. Lets see - we have an open fire on the floor where the smoke goes up and through a straw roof. Where the soot and tars condense and collect coating the straw with an oily like highly flammable coating. There must be roof fires that are very dangerous and fast burning and where flaming straw comes falling down. Do they happen? And when they do I would think the sparks would start other roofs on fire and the entire village would go up in smoke. And then the scarcity of available water to put them out. I would think this would be a huge problem but no one ever mentions about the fires.
