Alright, the new joint I bought has a fireplace. It's built for wood, but currently has a gas insert and log set in it.
I do like the ease, cleanliness, and instant gratification that the gas system provides...but I've always loved real wood fireplaces. The smell, the heat, just everything about it is awesome in my mind. I have plenty of wood sources...I know it's not going to help heat my house(as most the heat goes right up the chimney and sucks the warm air out of the house...and it's dirty/smokey/more dangerous than gas...
Anyone had both? Anyone think wood is worth the hassle?
Trying to decide if I want to tear out the gas system and go back to burning wood.
