We moved into a house with a huge Russian Fireplace which didn't seem to heat the house like we wanted and took up a lot of real estate. We are now taking out the Russian fireplace and are looking at the Morso 5660 wood insert. We have a 2500 sft home with only two kids rooms and a bath on the second floor so most of the square footage is on the main level (we also only have 8' ceilings). We want to be able to have the insert as our primary source heat in the winter (Seattle area so its not extremely cold) and are conflicted on purchasing the insert with a blower or without. We have read and heard such mixed reviews that we are confused on what to do???
