[QUOTE="buildmyown, post: 1157457, member: 18493"] My living room is 20X30 with 20 feet of glass on one end and 14 foot ceilings kinda hard and expensive to heat. This room is a add on so the woodstove doesnt really do much for it. Last year I bought one of those fireplace grate heaters found one new on craigslist for short money. Took awhile to get the setup righ tbut now that I have it down it does a great job and I dont use nearly as much wood. This is my procedure I get home around 4PM. I will turn the heat up in the living room just to take the chill off get a big fire going in the fireplace once the fire burns down a little about an hour I close the damper down half way and close the doors turn the blower from the grate heater on with a good bed of coals I can maintain the room at 70 for about 2-3 hours depending on how cold it is. I usally have to throw a couple of logs on at that point. Using about 7 or 8 good size logs I can keep the room at 70 from 4-11Pm. Here is a pic of what im talking about. [/QUOTE]
