[quote=Anonymous]Realize that they are both just for looks. Fireplaces that vent outside create a vacuum as the hot air rises. This pulls heated air up and out of the house. Since the house now has negative pressure colder outside air is pulled in from any air gaps around windows, doors, etc. If the main purpose is actually heating the space a wood stove insert or gas stove insert is the best system. If the main purpose is looks get a big old fireplace that can handle any possible smoke from wet wood. My wife would much prefer a gas system with a remote control and fake wood though.[/quote]
