energy efficient fireplaces?

Can anyone recommend a good place to find an energy efficient fireplace insert? We want to restore an old fireplace but want it to actually help heat the room as much as possible. Any ideas for how to make it most energy efficient, but in a style that also works with an old brownstone? Thanks.

Have you looked at the goodtimestove.com website? They refurbish antique wood burning stoves and can make them run on gas or electric if needed. I had wanted our GC to run a gas-line to at least one of our fireplace but for various reasons it never happened. Now I look at these stoves with lust!
