yes

It serves to distribute flames towards

the sides and top of the stove and so increase heat output.

The artist and editors have said it was intended as satire, and titled it "the politics of fear" (referring to the Republican/conservative portrayal of the Obamas as connected to Osama Bin Laden and to Muslims in general as either terrorists or fascists). It was still viewed by many unfamiliar with The New Yorker's focus on art as offensive.

In terms of it having any factual content, it is all ironic overstatement. Because of the popularity of comedy satire television like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, they honestly felt most people would understand it as artistic criticism of Republican propaganda that regularly suggests Obama has terrorist connections.

Yes. It's just that most people don't have one, because the majority of New Yorkers live in apartment buildings, and it's complex and difficult to install fireplaces and chimney chutes in apartment buildings, especially large buildings with lots of units. It's a lot of money and work for something that is now a luxury/novelty instead of a necessity. Nobody needs fireplaces anymore; we have better ways of heating homes now.

For example, my apartment building has, I believe, about 20 apartments per floor. That's 20 apartment "lines." Each floor has the same layout, so you basically have identical floors of identical apartments, stacked on top of each other. Thus, all of the "A" apartments (3A, 4A, 5A, etc.) are known as the "A line," and all of the B apartments (3B, 4B, 5B, etc.) are the "B line," and so on.

To install fireplaces in each apartment, you'd have to build 20 separate chimney chutes, one for each apartment line, running from the basement to the roof. That would be a lot of very expensive work.

However, a lot of the older luxury apartment buildings have fireplaces. The very expensive, luxury buildings tend to have only 1 or 2 (maybe 3) apartments per floor, so you only have to install 1 to 3 chimney chutes. Also, most of these buildings are relatively old -- 100 years or so -- so they were built at a time when fireplaces were still standard in most homes.

Generally speaking, if a person has a fireplace in their Manhattan apartment, it's safe to assume they are very wealthy.

what are the codes for wood stove installation

yes, if the wood is dry and the air is hot enough

No.

I'm an old (75) country boy who lived by a fireplace all my life, until I was in my 20's as the only source of heat besides the wood stove in eth kitchen, and I've never heard the corner by the fireplace to have a special name except "the corner by the fireplace." As in, "Stand it in the corner by the fireplace."

Yes, poplar wood can be toxic to some individuals. However, it really is only harmful if you have allergies to wood.

I'm assuming you mean the furnace? If the pilot light keeps going out on the furnace, you probably have a rusted through or cracked heat exchanger. Unfortunately the only way to fix the problem is to replace the furnace. IM THE ONE WHO ASKED THE QUESTIONN THIS IS NOT A FURNACE IT IS A GAS HEATER THAT HE PUT IN HIS DINNING ROOM

pine wood burns very rapidly because it is not dense and is full of very flammable rosin.

because they contain methane, which is a flammable substance.

According to the TV show QI, the main flammable ingredient is hydrogen. (whatdoctor)

I have used 320 grit all-purpose sand paper. But if you find this isn't removing the brass, you can go to a 240 grit or so. Remember you are only scuffing the surface, it is just to remove the gloss so the primer has something to adhere to. I have used 320 grit all-purpose sand paper.

Dry wood is usually easier, but wood will dry much faster when split. If you have the time to let large sections dry first, it will be easier to split, but it may take a year to dry. Wood that is split and stacked to allow air to circulate will be dry and ready to burn in about 5 months.
