I have a fireplace om the bottm end of a ranch which, when lit, the heat does nothing, I mean nothing to heat the house.
I am thinking a hotbox? Or an insert which burns wood pellets or some other material? (I know these are new to the market...)
I do not have room to extend out into the living room, (pool table in the way).
Should I just get a faux gas fireplace? We are piped in the house for natural gas.
What are my options?
Thanks in advance.
