<<I do wish we had a wood stove, yesterday someone told me that if our fireplace isn't one of the modern ones that uses either outside air or inside air, can't remember, it will let out about as much heat out the chimney as it puts into the room, so it won't really heat a room. >> The best new ones use outside air instead of the already heated air in the house. You do get a bunch of radiant heat which warms the room. House wise you will get about 10% efficiency in heating but it will keep one room toasty. A friend had a two bedroom bungalow that was built in the 40s. The fireplace had an upper and lower vent on each side that accessed the gap between the firebox and the outer masonry. By convection circulation alone he heated his house until it got into the teens.
