View Full Version : remove glass doors?

My 1978 fireplace glass door enclosure is very ugly and I would like to remove it, paint the brick, and just put a pretty metal screen across on the hearth. With the damper flue closed, are there any drawbacks energywise to doing this? I live in Houston, so winter is almost non-existent.

Thanks
