Any well built masonry fireplace can be used for cooking. All that’s needed is the proper equipment.
There are few things finer than a meal cooked on an open fire.

A log cabin is at it’s best when it used as one single room… a room with four log walls.
One of the many flaws in cabins using “log cabin kits” is that these cabins are divided up into various rooms each having a wall or two which is log.
I prefer either a small log cabin with a lean-to addition where the cabin serves as living space with a bedroom above it.
Or, a larger home that has one of more log additions off of it where these cabins serve as… living rooms, dens, bedrooms, or dining rooms.

Stone walls.
Stone roof.
Zero maintenance.
And a joy to look at!
What a charmer.
The life expectancy of such a structure (if it can avoid earthquakes and bulldozers)?… certainly hundreds of years… perhaps thousands of years.
What else can a person do during a lifetime that can impact and bless people that far into the future?

Any window becomes a special place when it is recessed deeply into a wall.

Fall, has arrived.
It’s a great time of year.

It looks like the rolls are done.
Can you smell them?

A log cabin sure does blend into the environment, doesn’t it?

I can’t help but wonder why this fine home was abandoned.
After many years of decay and neglect, she still stands straight and true.

What is your opinion of the paint finish seen in this photo?
A) I love it just like it is
B) I’d put a fresh coat of paint on everything
C) I’d remove all the paint and have a clean natural wood finish.

Here’s proof that a brick chimney can look good on a log cabin… it’s tough to do, most that attempt it, fail.
It’s an unspoken rule that log cabins must have a stone chimney, I’ve never built anything but stone on the cabins that I have built, but here is a photo that shows there are no absolute rules with cabins.
