[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1352014, member: 5412"] A recent thread has talked about a fireplace. Its that time of year. How many have them? How much wood do you burn? Do you have a standard open fireplace, or an insert? Most important of all.......... does your fireplace use make-up air from inside the house or do you have one that uses outside air? We have an insert with dual fans that can make the front room into a toaster but the bedrooms icy as it has to use the inside air to make up the flow up the chimmney. The rule of air flow, is that for every cubic foot of air that goes up the chimmney, there has to be a cubic foot of air come into the house. This is the way ours is. It sucks in cold air through the doors, doggy door, etc. I'm thinking we need to get a stone mason in here to get us some outside air for make-up and the inside air would be a lot warmer. How about you folks? Does your fireplace just make your house colder or warmer? [/QUOTE]
