when i was a kid we had a old natural gas heater one of the ones that was all metal and didn't have any heat shield on the top or sides just the floor and the back, and the face was open and had ceramic blocks that would turn glowing red we did than with, and you had to light with a long fireplace match or newspaper and down on low. cause if you didn't that bastard would belch out a ball of fire that would singe your eyebrows. but we used a old maxell house coffee can.
my dad being cold nurtured loved that heater so much that when we moved the farm from pensacola to milton he brought that old son of a bitch with us, and put it in the new house. it was 20 years old then, and he kept it going another 30, would disconnect every fall to clean it out and fire that hot bastard up.
another thing i remember about it, his feet stank to all be damn, and if you came in the front door after he got home form work, the blast of hot fucking wet stanky feet would knock you back out the door.
