Fireplace Insert

  • Active since 1995, Hearth.com is THE place on the internet for free information and advice about wood stoves, pellet stoves and other energy saving equipment.

    We strive to provide opinions, articles, discussions and history related to Hearth Products and in a more general sense, energy issues.

    We promote the EFFICIENT, RESPONSIBLE, CLEAN and SAFE use of all fuels, whether renewable or fossil.
Since the stove is inserted into a fireplace, the blower helps move the heat out into the living area. Otherwise, the heat would have to heat the masonry, and then eventually the masonry would put a bit of heat into the room.
