"I'm surprised Mainers haven't discovered how to set the bricks on fire."

Everyone buys a Bean coat and a woodstove and attempts to light it with gasoline or kerosene or lighter fluid or oily rags or dead cats soaked in acetone or whatever they have handy.

Outside the center of town throught most towns in Maine, my impression is that every dwelling is made of wood, even apartment buildings.
