I LOVE it in the winter, it keeps our basement livable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-614842 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 15:31:57 +0000 Caly 614842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do! I love nothing more than sitting with a book &amp; some tasty bevvie in front of the fire. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-604935 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:27:59 +0000 Alivoo01 604935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only when our heater goes out. We have a pile of wood ready to go though. Our fireplace is wood burning so I hate cleaning up after we turn it on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-604877 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:13:54 +0000 PurplePumps 604877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all since we need to get fireplace doors and haven't done that yet. We have a two sided fire place so the draft always drags the smoke out into the house instead of letting it go up the chimney. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-604875 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:13:32 +0000 MarieJ 604875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never used it in the three years we've lived there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-604873 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:12:20 +0000 Beebug 604873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never lived in a house with one, our new house will have one on the main floor, and gas line run for 2nd one in the basement, SO excited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-604859 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:07:41 +0000 yoursilverlining 604859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don’t use it very often at all. It’s gas and we keep the venting covered because so much cold air gets in when it’s not on. It’s a pain to go outside, remove the vent cover, then go back and put it back on when you’re done. It’s beautiful, but I’d like to rip it out and replace it with a wood burning stove (vs. fireplace). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-604852 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:04:47 +0000 MrsTiz 604852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use it all the time! We have a gas one though, so all we have to do is flip on a lightswitch and it's on. We just ran out of gas on Tuesday, so from September through February we used our entire gas tank worth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-604758 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 08:31:59 +0000 LindsayInNY 604758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our new place has one and I can't wait to use it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-604752 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 08:28:13 +0000 Smurfette 604752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just moved into our house and are so excited to have one finally. Have to get it cleaned before we can use it, so probably won't be till this fall. I am 99% sure we are going to put gas logs in, so we can it on and off super easy. Esp. for when I am home alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-604749 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 08:25:05 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 604749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't. It doesn't get cold enough to start a fire here that often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-604690 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 07:58:00 +0000 Dandelion 604690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have one, although we've lived with fireplaces. We're working on buying or building a home, and a fireplace is something that we're NOT wanting to splurge on. If it's in a house we like, then fine, but we know we'll never use it, unless it's gas. We'd rather upgrade something else instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-604687 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 07:55:08 +0000 mediagirl 604687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a fireplace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-604528 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 04:11:21 +0000 illumina 604528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hardly ever. DH loves it and keeps on about how we have to use up our wood supply before the winter is out... But I actually don't like the smell or the dryness of the air afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-604471 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 01:54:06 +0000 shopaholic 604471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never used it in the 2+ years yet. I always want to, but DH prefers if we just turn on the heater. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-604458 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 01:30:15 +0000 HabesBabe 604458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't-- we live in SoCal and it's a gas fireplace-- so no wood burning smelly goodness :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-604443 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 01:18:13 +0000 Emsmems 604443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. We have a gas fireplace and my DH is just thinking about the gas we are paying for every second it is on! So it's very rare! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-604388 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 00:40:58 +0000 mrskc 604388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never used it in 4.5 years we've lived here. It doesn't get that cold. Plus, our air quality is so bad most days, it's banned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-603672 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:59:19 +0000 twodoghouse 603672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never used ours in the 5 years we've lived here. And we live somewhere that gets pretty cold in the winter! I think it's because we're lazy and don't want to clean it and stuff, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-603663 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:58:10 +0000 mrbee 603663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's one of the things I miss most about life pre-kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-your-fireplace-a-lot#post-603641 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:55:33 +0000 mrsjyw 603641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we do. a LOT!
