will be starting our home build in about 30 days and need advice on a fireplace. We are leaning towards a ventless gas fireplace instead of a wood burning fireplace. Anyone have any bad experience with them . We had a wood burning stove in our other house and did not use it he past 5 years. Thanks in advance.

Somewhat depends on what fireplace you choose from my experience with our home build. We went with a double sided fireplace and since we foamed the house we had to have a gas vented fireplace because it would smoke out the house if it was wood burning. I wanted wood burning because I like the smell. I must say though, with the double sided blower on the one we got, I like it much better and think it warms the house much better.

Nothing beats a real wood burning fireplace. When built right it will heat your entire home up. I had gas run to mine to make it easier to light. I went with a solid masonry fireplace on the house I just got done building and it works great. And I will never again go with a heat-a-later type fire place. The blower's on them are loud and annoying. My last house had a pre made fire place in it with a blower and it sucked.
