The smoke hole, incidentally, because of its size, and the size and structure of the lodge, tends to be somewhat inefficient. - (Blood Brothers of Gor, Chapter 40, Sentence #19)

This roof ranges from five to eight feet in height, from the surface level, as opposed to the interior floor level; it is formed of poles covered with sod; it is supported at the edges of the log walls, against which, on the outside, dirt is banked, and by log stanchions arranged in a circle on the floor. At the apex of the lodge is a smoke hole and beneath the smoke hole, at the center of the lodge, is the fire hole. It was in this fire hole that we had built our fire. The smoke hole, incidentally, because of its size, and the size and structure of the lodge, tends to be somewhat inefficient. It is quite different from the smoke holes of the conelike hide lodges common with the red savages which, because of flaps, responsive to the movements of poles, function like efficient, adjustable flues. There are no windows in the lodges of the Waniyanpi. Even with the fire lit, they are half dark. - (Blood Brothers of Gor)
