A) Open fireplace, burning unseasoned, unsplit wood.
B) Same fireplace situation with glass front closed, using just bottom draft slot.
C) Coal insert, with proper draft adustment, insulated flue liner to 5'
All in full, normal burn process.
We all know the diferences in temperature of the fuels but remember the conditions.
Let the responses begin.
