Our present house has a fireplace that has never worked well as the chimney was constructed wrong. We were originally thinking of a wood stove but given how far it will stick out into the room, we're not so sure about that. Now we're thinking of a fireplace insert. For us, it's purpose would be an occasional scenic fire plus heat backup for the few winter days when the ice takes down the power lines. Either way, we'd have to get the chimney reworked and fortunately, we have some brick masons in the family. I know a regular fireplace is grossly inefficient compared to a wood stove, but what about a fireplace insert? Will the insert be any better than just the fireplace itself?
