Lots of good suggestions from my earlier post, and I appreciate it. Going with an insert would be my preferred option, but by the time everything is done, I could easily be into it for $2,500-3000. Back in 1979, I used a blower grate and got a fair amount of heat from it. Something like the Fireplace Radiator may be worth considering, since I only will be burning it a couple of times a week. They look like a decent unit. Anyone had any experience with them?
