With enough funds, you can do anything to a house. I couldn't own a home without a fireplace. It's one of my favorite features. While we're on the subject though, I do have a gas line that goes into mine. Those of you with gas fireplaces, do you prefer it to non-gas? Obviously not having to clean up all the time is probably nice, but I enjoy the crackle of the wood and all that. I've never used a gas fireplace, so I'm not very familiar with them. Looks like they're a little pricey to get set up, but after that it shouldn't cost much to operate.

I have a gas fireplace and I'm very happy with it. You don't get the crackling sound, but the low-maintenance factor is nice and it puts out a lot of heat. I turn the thermostat down, shut off the back of the house and crank the fireplace for the living room/kitchen/dining/office side of the house during the days. It's a lot of square footage and the fireplace keeps it toasty.

I spend a decent amount of time in PA every winter the wood burning fire (that heats the entire downstairs) is very nice. There's a lot of work involved though ... I'll take a gas fireplace for a daily.

The smell is not there, but the look and heat is. Nat gas is cheap!

I'll build a fire pit or fireplace out on the back deck soon. Then I'll be back to hauling wood.

I've put several of the gas standalone units in, it's not bad at all.

That is the one thing I really wanted in this house, gas. I would much rather have natural gas for our fireplace and stove, but mostly for the fireplace.

Fire pit out back has the piping ran to the grill area with all the valves and such to put a gas setup in there. One day we might do it. But right now I enjoy burning whatever in the firepit.

Gas is better, as I said above.

I can't decide which I want most out back, a pit or fireplace. You'll have to swing by when you get back.

We really wanted a fireplace but didn't want the view obstruction.

Good point. My neighbors are closer, some obstructions are good.

Cold but not too windy. Said 34 on my mirror temp on the way in. Should get ugly when it gets dark and the temp falls this pm. Just wet and miserable right now. Firewood stacked under the porch outside the backdoor hope it is dry enough tonight.

Every wood-burning fireplace I've been around cranks out a ton of heat. Love them. The in-laws have a gas fireplace. It's easy, clean, way cheaper than wood, but it just doesn't put out heat like a wood one.

My grandparents have a couple of wood stoves in their house, and those things rock. You put a few logs in, close the door, and it keeps the house warm for hours.

Our house had gas logs in the fireplace when we moved in, and after moving them around a bit to be right over the fire, they warm up and there is a good amount of heat coming off them once warm. I feel like the trade off is ok, I dont have to clean out the fireplace, or buy/bring in wood. Downside is that there isnt a crackle, and the heat output is less.

I actually kept my living room around 68-69 degrees all weekend from just using the fire. Thermo is right in the hallway directly off the living room, and the heater never kicked on, and had it at 67 just in case it dropped. Rest of the house was a tad chilly, but I just hang out in there anyway, so it was pretty good.

im prolly in the minority, but i hate the smell of smoke and such from a fire. if mine wasnt gas and as easy as flipping a switch i would never have a fire. i do agree that wood is much hotter than my gas.

god bless.
