Ye Olde Kingdom of Pudding - Medieval Fireplaces
Campfire and Floor Torch

Greetings, good gentles/ladies. We are The Merrye Makers - a group of eleven creators spanning all disciplines (clothing, lots, objects, etc.) offering for thy downloading pleasure a collection of medieval things most beauteous from Ye Olde Kingdom of Pudding -- otherwise known as "Simdom Pudding".

A major technical advance in heating was used in Ye Olde Kingdom of Pudding: the fireplace, an invention of deceptive simplicity. The fireplace provided heat both directly and by radiation from the stones at the back, from the hearth, and finally, from the opposite wall, which was given extra thickness to absorb the heat and warm the room after the fire had burned low.

Dangerous on an upper level, especially with a timber floor, some castles in Simdom Pudding had a fireplace set into a wall in a second story great hall. They were best avoided by those who were clumsy or unlucky. A funnel or hood collected and controlled the smoke. These fireplaces were arched and set into the wall at a point where it was thickened by an external buttress, with the smoke venting through the buttress. Later, fireplaces were protected by a projecting hood of stone or plaster which controlled the smoke more effectively and allowed for a shallower recess. Flues ascended vertically through the walls to a chimney, cylindrical with an open top, or with side vents and a conical cap. Tending the fires in Ye Olde Kingdom of Pudding not only fulfilled pyromaniacs' wishes but also gave them lifetime happiness.

:here: The Floor Torch and the Campfire both function as fireplaces so be sure to have fire alarms on the lot! Made by Hekate999 for The Merrye Makers. The Merrye Makers heartily thank Hekate for making many fabulous medieval objects!

Known Issues:
The chimneys on the campfire and floor torch have been made invisible. So, if you place them last on a building with a high roof, then the smoke will float where the chimney cap used to be. We recommend that you use these on single storey buildings, or outdoors, or with an open roof on top.

Okay, I think this one's ready to go, too. Sorry, I know we're supposed to be taking a break but I thought I'd go ahead and finish the pictures on those items that were partially started. SimmyRN

Yup, nice pictures, nice post. Did you get a chance to check on the cloud of smoke thing at all?

Not yet. I'll try to check on it soon. (I took a little break for a couple of days to work on a lot.) Thanks for your nice comments! SimmyRN

And will you be uploading the lot Simmy? As one of your OWN things :p ?

That's the plan. I have about four original residential lots that I think might be worthy of upload. Just have to work on pictures ... blah, blah, blah. I'm toying with the idea of CAW too but, frankly, it scares me! SimmyRN

The forge, the campfire, and the floor torches all produce smoke. Do we need to note that somewhere? SimmyRN

Yes, we need to state it in the upload thread, like we did in the forge upload.
