The only fireplaces I ever saw in Texas hones (where I lived) were Natural gas. Even without electricity you still got heat.
Liberals are ending natural gas. I do hope the vermin Californicators who are invading Texas get a dose of what they force on us good and hard.
I have a natural gas fireplace but the exhaust flue had to take a convoluted route all the way up to the roof. So by law it must have a blower. So no juice, no fireplace. Miss my old coal stove from years ago.
