My husband ...Hi there, just came across your blog. My husband and I just installed a wood fireplace insert. We love the idea of free heat...for the past week, we have not had to use our gas heat! Our dogs love it too, they lay on their bed in front. <br /><br />Do your research about insulating the pipe that will go into the wall and then the ceiling. Wood stoves are a great idea. Good luck to you!liliana876https://www.blogger.com/profile/07104120092962915684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973925313601997766.post-17547903262118063912011-12-01T08:22:38.608-05:002011-12-01T08:22:38.608-05:00@ Diana - That's a bummer you have to get rid ...@ Diana - That's a bummer you have to get rid of yours.

We are removing ours because we couldn't get our house insured with the one still hooked up. However, we were able to keep the wood burning fireplace which warms my heart! Great purchase. I hope everything goes well with the installation and you can cuddle up next to the fire in time for Christmas! <br />-DianaDiana @ Boy + Girlhttp://boyplusgirldesign.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973925313601997766.post-18237502855753346492011-11-30T22:29:12.948-05:002011-11-30T22:29:12.948-05:00@ Krystle - My parents have a gas fireplace and it...@ Krystle - My parents have a gas fireplace and it doesn't blow a lot of heat out either.

I wouldn't have ever guessed a wood burning stove. I like it though. We have a gas fireplace but it is useless because it doesn't blow heat into the house.
