the Beauty of an Air Lock
 

I hope everyone has discovered the beauty of an "Air Lock".
We finally added one that doubles as a Mud room. the wood stove even can
be loaded from it. and a great place to feed the cat. She has a pet port
into it, but not the main house.

I thought those *were* mud rooms. ...or put another way, that mud
rooms had doors to both the house and outside.

I found a better solution was to move to where it didn't get cold
enough to need a mud room. ;-)

Mud is more a factor of rain and clay. than temp.
And Air Locks work even better when you are trying to keep the air
conditioner on a diet. Ceiling fans too.

They always went together, IME. "Mud room" == "Air Lock" (actually
the latter was never used.

Nonsense. There is far more heat lost with a 70F-100F differential
than 10-30F.
