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.

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
