At the moment during darker time of year to get light and heat in ones cabin: one has to grab branches/twigs from woodpile, go outside, drop the wood, step aside, start a fire, light a torch, go back inside, push some wood in fireplace, start a fire, put out torch.

I would think a person would know where their fireplace is (that they built themselves) in a cabin (they built by themselves). If nothing else than by feel. Pushing in to front of the characters gets prohibited with 0-tile visibility, same as mechanics stop pushing items behind them.

Hence a suggestion that the characters to be allowed push firewood in to fireplace in their dark cabin*.
Lighting a fire into dark tile, which the character is facing, is already allowed, as any cave hideout builder should know.
