Nothing better than watching the fire in the wood stove insert and smell the fresh cut Xmas tree during the holiday season. I have read many posts here regarding wood stove and Xmas tree. However, I am wondering if the same thing applied to the fireplace insert wood stove. With the insert, there is really not much heat around the fireplace except the hot air pushing out by the fan. After 2 feet away from the side of the stove, it is pretty much room temperature. I have the Xmas tree set around 4 feet away by the side of the fireplace. This is the only location I can put a tree in my living room. I have been checking the water level of the Xmas tree base and I did not see much difference with stove on or off. So far I have not left the insert running without anyone at home after we have the tree setup this way. Should I be concern about the Xmas tree and insert?
