Down here in Florida most fireplaces are decorative. My parents use theirs for the fun of it and for heat. It seems like it could heat the entire house, but it's inefficient at getting the heat into the house. It's got a nice insert thing... like an iron box with heavy doors and built in blower. The box gets quite hot, but it just doesn't transfer the heat to the air. It can heat the house, but they have to pack it full, open the dampers, and really get it hot. Seems like one serving of wood should go allot farther than it does. Any tips on servicing it?
Also I'm house shopping and would like a fireplace. Any tips on good inserts? I imagine to really get heat out of it, it'd need to be attached to a good size radiator.
