Furnace in traditional home (Sobiyah)

In most traditional homes in the Lebanese rural areas, this furnace (sobiyah) is used to heat the home. It is also used to make tea or heat food. A few logs are swiftly lit-up and it feels toasty warm within minutes. Now the family, neighbors and friends can gather around, sip on some tea or maté (if in the Chouf mountains) and visit.
