From the New York Times, you're listening to The Wirecutter Show.

Hey, everyone, it's The Wirecutter Show.

I'm Cairo Blackwell.

I'm Christine Cyr Clissette.

And I'm Rosie Garan, and we work at Wirecutter, the product recommendation site from the New York Times.

This episode of The Wirecutter Show is called Fireproof Your Home.

Y'all, it is finally cold outside.

I have got to tell you, I've been eye in my fireplace for a few weeks now, and I'm so happy that I'm getting the logs going.

We're having cozy moments after I pick the kids up at school.

There's nothing to me more enticing than a warm fire in the middle of winter.

I just, I love it. It's so good. Yeah, I love this for you, Rosie. I just have radiators, and that's just

not the same vibe. No, it gives a little warmth. Just put your socks on there.

Drape yourself across the top of the radiator. Yeah, I don't want to rain on your cozy parade, but actually, Rosie, I don't know if your fire safety stuff is up to snuff right now, but I just remember distinctly setting my parents' living room rug on fire because I was making smores in the fireplace and I was having too much fun setting the marshmallows on fire.

Oh my gosh.

Waving it around and then it dropped right onto the carpet and it just went up in flames.

Oh, my gosh.

What was the scene?

Like, was there a fire extinguisher pulled out?

No.

We stomped on it.

It's a good move if you have to, but that's maybe not the most recommended advice that we have, right?
