Open wood burning fireplaces are not meant to heat homes just FYI.

That being said, I love mine and decided not to go with an insert. There’s something magical about a big crackling fire in your living room that you won’t get with a stove or insert.

It’s messy at times for sure, but I adore it.

Yeah it is just less cost effective. And losing heat and putting more work on the regular heating system.
