[quote=Anonymous]We bought a wood-burning insert to fit into our fireplace when we moved in, because our son has asthma and open grates expel a lot of fine dust into the atmosphere. The insert is much more efficient than the normal fireplace at pushing heat back into the house, vs up the chimney. It cost us 5K and since it's made of cast iron, very heavy - had to be installed by professionals. We use it every winter, every day when temps are below freezing. We live on a small lot close to a downtown, but had to cut down a lot of trees on our property over the years, and use that wood. My husband splits logs in the approved woodcutter fashion (axe, wedge, hammer) and it gives him a workout in winter. He stacks the logs to season in the back yard. [/quote]
