It's important that an indoor fireplace flue damper be opened before igniting anything in a fireplace. The damper looks similar to a trap door and is located at the bottom of the chimney. When it's open, it provides an opening for smoke from the fireplace to escape. If it is closed while a fire is lit, smoke will enter the room rather than leave via the chimney with possible deadly consequences. If nothing is burning in the fireplace, keep the flue damper closed. This saves money on energy by preventing heat or air conditioning loss up through the chimney.

In the Napoleonic era of warfare, the infantry was armed with a smoothbore muzzle-loading flintlock musket. At extreme range this weapon was capable of firing a heavy round ball up to four or five hundred yards. The problem was at that range accuracy was near impossible. Only reasonable results in accuracy could be found at between one to two hundred yards. This was often the distance in military practice range. In real battle the stress and pitched back and forth infantry could only really assure an accurate shot at fifty to sixty yards. With that said, it was reasonable to expect the bayonet to be of value to soldiers when it came down to close fighting.

In 1852, many years before George B. McClellan would become a key figure in the US Civil War, he had studied the value of this weapon from reading about its use in the Napoleonic Wars and from its use in the Mexican-American War. McClellan did not believe the bayonet would be the key to winning a major battle, however, he saw its value in skirmishes and in certain parts of a major battle. Therefore in 1852 he wrote his Manual of Bayonet Exercise. McClellan believed that infantrymen should understand how and when to use their bayonets. In close quarters with an enemy, the bayonet would help out in a large way. He also believed that bayonet training would add to a soldier's confidence concerning its use. After all, it was normally attached to a soldiers rifle or musket.
