    I have it stoked full of wood right now with the doors closed and it’s 74° in my living room/kitchen and even down the hall to the bedrooms.

    Some time in the night the fan will kick on and heat our bedroom.

      I have one that you can see through. It's as worthless as a Liberal.

        Our city house has an insert and it does a good job for the living room and kitchen. But the downside is it pulls air from inside the house so you get drafts. Our lake house also has an insert but, it pulls its air from the attic. That thing will flat burn you out of there.

          If starting from scratch a wood stove is much more efficient than a fire place. We have had them in two houses and depending on how you run the pipe and ceiling height you can heat the entire house. I love my fireplace cause I can heat the house when needed or just make a comfort fire on a cool night.

            My fireplace has the fan but it is utterly useless. I've pulled it completely apart and found no reason why, but it is useless. Next year I'm adding on and I'm going to get one of the outside wood burning units that ducts into the house.

              This is the one I have. I also bought the internal blower and the central heat blower kit.

              Dale Moser can hook you up on it.

                I’ve got a gas fireplace and it’s about worthless unless you’re standing in front of it.

                  We are remodeling a property we just bought and adding a second fireplace. Dale and Mike D, sounds like I need more info on this unit you guys are talking about.

                    Mine sucks. It's an insert model. My rental has one that will cook you when you step in the room with it burning.

                          I’m gonna go out on a limb and say not very.

                            We have a 40” double sided astria fireplace with heatilator. We were without power for 3 days so obviously couldn’t turn the fans on, unfortunately. We run off propane though and after lighting it and letting it run for about a half hour to get really hot, it did great. We kept our whole 2900 sq ft house within 3 degrees of normal thermostat setting. When you can run the fans though it will run you out of the house.

                              I’ve burned 3/4’s of a rick of wood in the past 5 days and the only thing my fireplace has been good for is sticking your hands in it to warm them up and the kids roasting marshmallows.
