We originally wanted a wood fireplace, but they can be pretty energy and heating ineffecient. I'd love to have a wood insert stove one day though; the one I have my eye on has a pizza/bread oven on the bottom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fireplace#post-405259 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 19:01:36 +0000 DillonLion 405259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

We use the one in our living room all the time, don't use the one down in the future family room at all right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fireplace#post-405183 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 17:53:44 +0000 matador84 405183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we do but we live in a rent house and don't mess with it. we have a great metal chimenea in the backyard though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fireplace#post-405176 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 17:48:00 +0000 MrsH 405176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a gas one - it makes the room so toasty. Love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fireplace#post-405079 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 16:14:15 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 405079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, love using it in the winter - makes everything feel so much more festive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fireplace#post-405077 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 16:13:13 +0000 Honeybee 405077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Probably not until the New Year now. :( With all the craziness of moving and Christmas, I don't think we 'll be able to come over on the 18th now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fireplace#post-405055 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 15:35:48 +0000 PurplePumps 405055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but we never use it! It open on both sides, so the draft between the rooms draws the smoke out into the house :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fireplace#post-405051 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 15:34:33 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 405051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: Yeah, it's ridiculous, but there is one in the entry way, one in the living room, one in the dining room and one upstairs on the third floor. The one upstairs has a very Tahoe cabin feel and that's the one we're likely to use.</p> <p>@honeybee: I'm sure we'll have a fire when you are over one time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fireplace#post-405048 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 15:29:25 +0000 prettylizy 405048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up with a real fireplace, it was the best, smelled so good. We have a gas firplace now and even though it's not as magical, man is it easy and awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fireplace#post-405035 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 15:24:07 +0000 MrsBrewer 405035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I would love one!

It was on my requirements for a new home when we were looking. DH is against me actually using it, but it makes for a great focal point and I LOVE having a big mantle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fireplace#post-404879 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 12:49:28 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 404879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our new house has 4!

It's great to throw on for ambiance, but as far as heating, it's way more efficient to just bump the heat up. We're looking for a house and would loooove a wood-burning one... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fireplace#post-404730 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 10:30:23 +0000 mrsmenow 404730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a wood burning fireplace and we use it a lot in the winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fireplace#post-404726 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 10:28:22 +0000 lemondrop 404726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, a very nice brick one but we've never used it- we had candles in it, but got a new entertainment center so our tv sits in it. I'm looking at mantles at Home Depot to add to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fireplace#post-404723 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 10:26:12 +0000 mrs. bird 404723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No :( I wish! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fireplace#post-404719 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 10:23:14 +0000 BelugaBean 404719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, our rental has a gas fireplace but we have yet to figure out how to turn it on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fireplace#post-404710 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 10:14:06 +0000 sslm 404710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, ours is natural gas and we love it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fireplace#post-404675 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 09:36:03 +0000 SugarplumsMom 404675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, it's on now. But it's more like an old-fashioned wood burning stove. It even looks old (much older than our house). I love it! DH hates it and wants it replaced because he says it's not efficient at warming the room. </p>
