So glad no one was hurt. It looks like that was a very close call. A lot of cheap ZC fireplaces are only meant for ambiance fires, not 24/7 heating.

Feeling the Heat
Well, it would take a pretty big stove to heat that place. I would suggest sealing some air leaks first.
I talked to the guy today but we were interrupted by someone coming to look at the place. Maybe an insurance adjuster. i asked him if maybe it overheated and started a chimney fire but he thought it came from the fireplaces enclosure. And he said that he faught the fire himself emptying two large extinguishers. I would have let it burn to the ground if it was insured! But then again there's the momentos inside if there was any.
