[QUOTE="laynes69, post: 3900770, member: 9715"] Be careful operating that fireplace like that. My sister and her boyfriend did the same thing, until one night they woke to a ball of fire underneath their bed. They were sleeping close to the fireplace to keep warm and framing around the brick got too hot and ignited. They almost lost the home. It was unfortunate because he had a stove to put in there, he was just too cheap and lazy. Almost cost their lives. Operating a fireplace consumes a huge amount of air from the home, you may feel some radiant heat but it pulls more heat than produced. There will be a huge improvement with a stove or insert in there, and much safer. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
