I have a wood burning fireplace that is no doubt a big energy sucker and doesn’t put out all that much heat. Though it’s not shallow like the old coal burning ones (the previous owners had it redone to be wood-burning capable), it’s still too shallow to get going a big enough fire to put off enough heat to warm the (big) room. I’ve been looking into wood-burning fireplace inserts (like a stove that inserts, sometimes projecting out like a bay window), but they’re all far too country-style for our modern-industrial interior. Anyone know of a source for more modern ones? Know of a good fireplace contractor (or do you use a GC?)? Have experience with fireplace inserts?? Thanks!
