I have a traditional style fire place. The type with brick chimney and mantle. I estimate that 80% of the heat from my fire is going up and out the chimney while not heating the room efficiently. I don't rely on the fire to heat the entire house, but feel I'm defeating the purpose of having a fire if I'm losing most of it out the chimney. My goal is to be able to have the living room really hot as a result of the fire place.
I have glass door with a mesh metal curtain on the opening into the house to stops sparks on the carpet... I usually keep this open unless there are tons of sparks, as it prevents even more heat from entering the room.
Can anyone recommend a fan type device that might draw more heat out into the living room? It gets super cold here in winter (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada). Sure is nice to have a roaring fire when it freezing outside.
Suggestions/comments please.
Cheers
