I have a fireplace.

I have a gas/fake fireplace. Use a metal firepit we bought at Lowes for the patio. Gonna build a fireplace off the patio next spring. Been looking at youtube videos for that. Something like this I think.

You can fabricate your own.

My fireplace is mostly for looks although I burn maybe a quarter of a cord a year in it. I only use it for a few hours a day on the coldest days.

You could make a kerosene stove as well.

Easy stuff.

I like a nice open fireplace where you can watch the wood burn. Primal, soothing.

Yeah... that is why I like my fireplace... has a pretty big firebox for a home

I could put up with a lot of ugly for the difference between $650 and $2500

I love my wood stove. it's kinda small'ish, but keeps my little ass house at 80f during the coldest days we have here in pfrnj. if I had room, i'd buy an old and bigger stove

Howdy yankee

howdy. what's cookin'?

BJ needs your phone number. Be prepared for an hour plus.

I did not type that. I haven't been here.

eh. I could talk the whole dam day away on the phone, lolol

I have had pellet stoves, a buck stove, have a furnace that runs off lp. Now I'm going to say this right now, Soapstone is the way to go. Switched to a mansfield hearthstone a couple years ago. Best decision I have made, heats the house very well. In fact if you arent careful you will be opening windows.

Also, I will say this about soapstone, it does not roast you alive when you get near it like a cast or steel stove does. It is like a soft heat.

I think Bj and I have run the batteries down on our phones a couple of times.
