Well, we are finally ready to install our fireplace. We built our log home a few yrs ago but because of contractor issues, we had to hold off on the fireplace.
The base of the fireplace flue is built (on the outide of the house)but stops just below where the fireplace would start.
We want this fireplace to actually heat the great room and not just for looks. If we already had a traditional fireplace I would simply install a wood insert into the fireplace and call it a day.
But, since we dont have anything in place, I have been looking into what exactly we need. It looks to me like the Zero Clearance wood burning fireplace is what I am looking for. But not totally sure about this.
I guess my question is this. If you wanted something to heat your great room and first floor if possible, what would you install? ( other than just a simple wood stove)
