Very good imfo.
European homes from earliest times known had a fire in the center of the room. This practice was not limited to the poor. As soon as they figured a replacement, they built fireplaces and chimneys. When poor Europeans came to North America, they had no restrictions on building chimneys and fireplaces and did so ASAP. The reconstruction at Jamestown, VA, has wooden chimneys and fireplaces, coated generously with clay. Occasionally the fire got into the wood and burned the building down.
The American Indians used the fire in the middle of the room routine. This was a smokey system and there were cases of lung diseases. The most efficient structure for the fire in the middle routine was the Teepee on the great plains. It could be taken down quickly and the group could be on their way. (The women owned the village and decided when to move, usually when game animals got scarce and the latrines got to smelling.) The teepee was made of buffalo skins. There was a flap at the top with cords on it so that the flap could be moved to adjust the smoke flow. The bottom of the skins could be rolled up in hot weather, rolled down when cold, letting air in at the bottom.
