[quote=Anonymous]Gas smells all the time, and a properly burning wood fire will not smell or even really smoke. Clean/inspect your chimney, and get a delivery of half a cord of dried firewood. I despise gas fireplaces and never used the one in our old house. We are now looking at one of the more modern wood stove inserts which burn super efficient but are pricey. I love love our fireplace especially on nights like tonight, and I literally couldn’t catch paper on fire on purpose before I learned how to build a good fire. I use little tiny bits of wood, bark, a couple pine needles, to light it up, sitting on top of a few slivers of larger pieces of wood split from the firewood, and a couple pieces of smaller firewood on the bottom, and I’m off to the races. Once it gets hot enough you just keep putting dry wood on top and moving logs around occasionally to keep it going. I occasionally use a piece of fat wood if things aren’t lighting quickly but have dry enough wood that I don’t usually need to.[/quote]
