Stop in for a cup of coffee

The neighbor has a gas and uses it regularly. Always toasty in their living room. It has a real nice insert that looks very real. I could dig that. Out hearth is so large it doesn't draw well. It takes so much oxygen out of the room you have to open the front door to feed it. LOL

Ours feeds air for combustion from outside and runs it through a heat exchanger with the exhaust heat on the way in. Net zero pull from the house and the insert has a shell that passively pulls the cool air from the floor around the firebox and pumps the warmed air back into the room.

I could probably heat the whole house with it for just a little more than it costs to run the main furnace.
