The best book on fireplace design & wood heating/cooking

John Vivian's book provides practical no nonsense information and advice on efficient fireplace design including many interesting historical examples. It also provides extensive advice on wood burning stoves and how to manage your wood supply. For example 5 acres of softwood trees will provide sufficient wood for a household including cooking and heating requirements, in perpetuity. There are detailed designs for fireplaces that will burn as efficiently as most enclosed wood heaters. A great book for the homesteader and environmentally conscious wood burner.
