It's one of the things I miss most about life pre-kids!

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.

We don't-- we live in SoCal and it's a gas fireplace-- so no wood burning smelly goodness

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

We do! I love nothing more than sitting with a book & some tasty bevvie in front of the fire.
