Imagine having no light after the sun sets. That’s what life was like until fire and candles were invented but imagine life with candles and fire. Smoky.. Loads of smoke inside the log cabin or inside any building that used candles for light. Smoke kills people because smoke replaces the oxygen in the air which makes it harder and harder to breathe. Net result? Shorter life. Earlier death.

Now.. Imagine a room that’s heated by coal or oil. A large iron box keeps the fire and smoke completely under control add a chimney and the smoke goes out of the building meaning the additional heat and light cause no effort to breathe. Voila! heat.. life sustaining heat during cold weather and light during the darkness of night meaning more time to enjoy life every day. More minutes and more hours everyday mean thousands of additional minutes and hours during which to enjoy your life. Simple, right? Well, yes really except for some stupid people who just don’t get the benefits of a longer life.
