My grandfather put in heat exchangers in both fireplaces when he built his last house. Each fireplace had fans on both sides with the intake above the fireplace door. Air would draw in from the top, pick up heat from the flue and around the brick of the fireplace and then get blown into the room. The only downside is he never thought to make them powered by a generator. We got stuck in a blizzard at his place one Christmas, 3 days with no power and no way to get off the property. We had to run a generator with a small room heater, the tv and the dish box. After the first day I'm surprised we didn't burn the place down as the power strip and extension cord wasn't rated for that much amp draw and both dang near melted.</p></blockquote><p></p>
