Fireplace Inside A Kota

[rudy]

Just realized today that if you deconstruct the kota frame, you can build an "Inside A Building" space in the empty space. Then, a fireplace on top of that.

Added benefit of removing the distracting visual of the frame.

Thought I'd share!

Now a real big one. Does that setup allow smoking?

It does not; just tried.

What if you replaced all the interior kota tiles with wood flooring? I think that a 3x3 flooring space wouldn't suffice because standing next to the fireplace means you'll be adjacent to the kota tiles. But if you have another square layer around you, maybe that space will be considered enclosed by the kota walls. Or perhaps not, given that snow is visible on the walls. But you'll at least have a fancy wooden platform by the time you finish trying it out.

I'm not sure. I did try replacing the tile I was standing on and, indeed, that was insufficient. If I have a chance to replace a 3x3 area I'll give that a shot.

An "enclosed space" is required for smoking. Only a cabin will do for that.
By the way I used to always have I have a 5x5...
