Hmm yes the hearth is lovely and enchanting. I think that most traditional wood stoves are quite inefficient, but have you heard of rocket mass heaters? I think there are other names for it. In the future we will be installing one so that we stay cozy haha.
I love fire and I love Brigid, I will certainly be posting more about her and the Tuatha among other myths, gods and lore in the near future :)
