[QUOTE="NationalMatch, post: 4207416, member: 48586"] Dunno what that is. The actual insert (fireplace walls/surround) caution (in the owner's manual) to not run the fireplace with the flue closed as it (the insert) is not designed for functional heating. Risk of fire. And to get any actual heat effect, the doors must be open. But you have to be directly in front of it to feel anything. With the doors open, the draft carries the heat up and out. Purely ornamental. I'm curious if there's anyway to convert it to functionality without yet another major construction project. [/QUOTE]
