considerations on fireplace heating need to include type and quality of wood being used. all the other things being discussed are improtant, but the wood makes ALL the difference no matter whatever else you do.

Hi JD >>I'm wondering if it would be worth the small heat loss. For the most part when it is cold out you aren't going to stop feeding your fire. As I type it is extremly cold for Boise ID, has been for several days. My fire hasn't let up for about 3 days. (fireplace with insert)<< I thought the amount of heat lost was significant. I've been digging around in the clutter trying to find some kind of reference about how much heat is lost if you're using room air for combustion. I couldn't find anything so I've gone to a few wood stove web sites and posted questions about "efficiency" comparisons. FWIW - I'll post here if I get any worthwhile responses. Emory
