I'd be interested to know if I can have my pre-manufactured fireplace removed and have a masonry fireplace built to accept a wood stove insert at some point in the future (has steel tube insert chimney and is a wood burning fireplace currently).
Just built a fire the other night and the wood burned fast and didn't heat the room very much (open pre-man fireplace w/screens).
Has anyone done this, or if not, what did you do to get decent heat out of your fireplace?
At this point, the fireplace is not very efficient but may be useful on really cold days, or for burning all day when I'm around.
I'd like a wood stove insert if I can get one.
