View Full Version : Anybody know about fireplaces?
I've got an older wood burning firplace that has a fan....but doesn't put out much heat. I'm looking to get some sort of insert to up the BTU's. Anybody know where to start?

get a cold air return put in around it and blow it thre the whole house
It's basically one of those circulator type fireplaces....you know with the fan the size of a computer fan that just circulate the air around the insert and out the top of it through a louver.
I can barely even feel air coming out from that little fan.
speed the fan up..................

I figured you'd get a kick out of that :banana1:
Sounds like you need a new fan, can you post a photo of your fan / door setup? I used to install / repair similar units, lets see some more info.

Circulatory wood burners suck. 90% of the heat will always go out the chimney.
Depending on the size of unit, there are a few options. A zero clearance insert may be your best option, but not your cheapest option.
We sell Heatilator, heat-n-glo, and quadrafire brands.
