craig71188 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Once upon a time many years ago, I had a tube grate - pre blower. It seemed to do OK just using convection to move the air, although I had it behind a glass screen. It would seem with a blower it would want to draw smoke into the room (working against the chimney's draw). The first link with the blower that circulates through the grate looks neat, may be a little less efficient until you got some coals built up under it. Just my .02.

russian rocket Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 im personally leaning towards the first one. while it puts out less heat, i still get to keep my doors with it so thats a big plus. i went and looked at fireplace inserts today and yea, i just cant do it, not only are they an eye sore but they are hellaciously expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
