Need a portable wood stove?
Here's one Kevin Kelly at Cool Tools recommended --
Cool Tool: Wall Tent Stoves
Portable wood stoves are for tents, tipis, huts or other temporary shelters. More efficient than a campfire, and more powerful than a backpacking stove, they are often used by ranchers, hunters, fisherman, and other trail groups who need to set up a moveable camp.

Modernistic Fireplace Opens to Reveal a Small Bar
I love discovering old articles that describe modern home design for gracious living. This one, circa 1939, describes a fireplace mantle and surround that opens into a bar -- just the thing for a small apartment. And you can build this one yourself.
The photos are great!
