Stan,
  Yes I do use them.  As for lightning it is still king of the 
de-enchantment.  Kill someone with fire if you 'want' their magic item, with 
lightning if you 'don't want' anyone to have that item.

  Not really clear on this questions.  We do have DX-2 at 4 wounds, on the 
following turn.  Besides, a one hex fire is insanely hot.  It can burn a 
myrmidon to death in fifteen seconds.

  Uh, when you put it that way, it doesn't seem intuitive.  I'm thinking 
the thickness of the beams/planks.  A door is typically thin when compared 
to the walls of the same house.  In fact wooden wall can be much much 
thicker, and sometimes insulated with layers of dissimilar material.
