Form is lovely, but what about function?

Categories: Fireplace/Mantle

Since moving into my brownstone, I have removed this insert in my bedroom fireplace any time I wanted to make a fire. It is tedious removing this cast iron insert. I would just have it removed, but it looks far better than the brick fire box. Any suggestions on an easier way to manage this?
