Forgot to mention, Does anyone have an opinion on the Bellfire Fireplace vs fireplace inserts. I know that the Bellfire is a very efficient fireplace but how much less efficient in heating is it than a good insert like the quadrafire 5100, for example. Also, as regular fireplaces, will the open damper lose a lot of heat when the fire goes out at night or is there a way to correct that?
