Beam Up the Flames

No account of a trip to the San Juan Islands would be complete without mentioning the home appliance par excellence: the remote-controlled fireplace.


Our guesthouses featured this thing (in different versions) both in Friday Harbor and Lummi Island. It's gas-powered and controlled by a remote much like that of a TV. Click, and the fire goes on. Get too hot, or get cozy under the covers and want to go to sleep, and you click it off.

In that climate, it probably comes in really, really handy.
