Fireplaces
 

I was wondering how many homes have fireplaces to take the chill off in the winter months?

I know this year was warm but other years have seen freezing temps.

Here are a couple of threads on fireplaces from earlier this year:

If you decide to go with a gas fireplace, you'd need to go with propane on a new build. Some people have a buried propane tank. Some existing areas of homes have natural gas service in place - not available in any of the new build areas for the homes.

tks, I see folks do in fact use them.

I have a Vermont Castings wood unit, that I was thinking of installing.

It really doesn't get cold enough to need a fireplace since the freezes happen around 4:00 am but they are nice to have -- great for decorating at Christmas, cozy up to on a cool night, etc.

Smoke not good
 

In an area like TV that is so densely populated and the houses are close together a wood burning fireplace would be like sticking your neighbors faces in an ash tray.
In my humble opinion. Gas or simulated electric would be better.

we have natural gas fireplace BUT
 

rarely use...
