The best part of a wood fire is the smell outside the house, coming home, knowing there's a warm fire inside.
I am working on a rehab of an old house now with 4 fireplaces - 3 downstairs (den, living room, entry) and 1 upstairs (master bedroom). I will likely keep the downstairs wood-burning and the upstairs gas. No carrying wood upstairs, though it is tempting to put an enclosed heatolator unit in the bedroom and using that for winter heat. Also tempting to put gas in the entry, as it's not a room where anyone would want to tend a fire - it's really for the effect when company is over. |

Also, the back-drafts down the chimney during windy weather can make things messy. But how I love the sound of a wood lighting, crackling, popping, and the sizzle of the last bit of moisture coming out of the end of the log! | |

Gas just feels so artificial. "Let's have a fire! Okay, push this button." The essence is gone. It's only a small step up from watching the Yule Log in my opinion.
I'm surprised to see so much support for gas fireplaces on SF. |

Cocktail is a stimulating liquor composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters—it is vulgarly called a bittered sling and is supposed to be an excellent electioneering potion, inasmuch as it renders the heart stout and bold, at the same time that it fuddles the head. It is said, also to be of great use to a Democratic candidate: because a person, having swallowed a glass of it, is ready to swallow anything else. | |

Isn't the cost to run a fireplace with gas obscene? What are you gas bills like?
