[quote=Anonymous]We bought a new house with a fireplace we are planning to convert to gas. In our last house we had wood and used it regularly but I'm looking forward to saying goodbye to wood because of the mess.  Bringing in logs, besides being a pain and heavy and opening outside doors when it's cold, means tons of dirt and debris from the said wood.  I was constantly sweeping up the path we took with the logs to the fireplace.  It's true that maintenance was minimal.  We only removed the ashes every 4th or 5th fire as we had a sizeable fireplace.  The other thing about wood is time.  It takes a long time to get a wood fire to really produce heat and then for it to die down  We really only made them when we planned to be home the better part of the day. Thus, rarely on weekday evenings as it wasn't worth the time investment and only after we were done going out on weekends.  I'm very much looking forward to turning on a fire, using it for an hour and then doing something else.  I wasn't comfortable leaving a live fire unattended for long periods of time so even going into a different room to watch a movie was problematic.  Sad to say goodbye to the smell but I think it's worth the tradeoffs.[/quote]
