i like mine it is from the 70s it really does help keep the oil man away
This is in town (pop 150) so it is natural gas, would be a lot bigger deal if it was out in the country with a LP tank.

Tough to sell during the late fall & winter months, so that's on your sideOffered, countered, and mulling over our response. Will be looking up that "what have you added to your arsenal" thread, real soon.
We lost power few days and I wish I had insert instead of fireplace.
I'd figure out a better way to heat with real quick, but thats just me. I like to know I can heat my house and feed my family in the event of losing power for an extended period. The longest we've lost power is a couple days which was kind of fun with little kids because we were prepared.My buddy thought his fireplace (modern insulated prefab steel box) was perfect for power outages, until they lost power last spring in the ice storms...they burnt all their firewood within a day and a half (city folks, not a primary source of heat) and it barely kept the house lukewarm. I pulled them a truckbed load (he lives an hour away) and they toasted that in another two days...the big kerosene heater I took them put out more heat than their fireplace.

An insert is a wood stove.Congrats on becoming a homeowner! My insert is my backup heat source for my geothermal heat. I run it just about every day like a fireplace. We lost power over Thanksging, & the insert operated like a wood stove. Kept the house at 72 for 4 days.
