[QUOTE="Wood Doctor, post: 1845189, member: 20385"] MGA's fireplace setup (Post #3) is a far cry from the old open hearth fireplaces that many homes still have. The heatilator idea was a good one that preserved the beauty of the old open hearths and added gobs of efficiency. The sealed glass screens also knock out much of the heat loss up the chimney. I have one of these heatilators installed in the fireplace on the main floor of the house, but LOML won't let me burn wood in it. So, I converted it to NG and it is seldom used. My Federal Airtight 288CCL is in the lower level of the house and it's rated at about 75% efficiency and 55,000 BTU/hr. That keeps the floor upstairs warm, and that's about half the battle. [/QUOTE]
