Haydock's commentary

Winter-house. He was very magnificent, and had other apartments for summer. Though the climate was warm, fires would be useful in November.

Hearth. There was no chimney used, and the smoke went out by the door, or by holes at the top of the room, as we see in some old monasteries. (Calmet)

Charcoal was probably used, Baruch vi. 42.
