doesn't putting a chimney in the roof of a ice house defeat the whole object of trying to keep all the warmth out and the cold in lol???Im sorry but i will have to go on the lines with tasa and her kiln.Or maybe even a smoking room for fish or dry curing ham maybe??
There are only 10 types of people in the world -those who understand binary, and those that don't.

That was my point about there being so much air space - all would have to be cooled at the expense of a lot of melting ice, really need to see it to make a better assessment. Rather precise and elaborate brickwork for a simple utility too.

Now, come to think. I've seena small grating serving no obvious purpose in a low wall aside a footpath, towards the golf course if I remember rightly. Rather small to be an entrance though. (Unless you were a very very small Monk ).Straw covering makes sense - excellent insulator.
