I have one right now, with external air supply and a heat exchanger that feeds the heat from the exhaust into my heat buffer for warm water and the heated floors in the rest of the house.
I have my own bit of forest just like basically everyone else in the village, there is no reason to not make use of the scraps that fall off of that during the year.
But then again, I have inherited some very viking-ish genes from my dad’s side and I channel the urge to pillage and burn into getting something from the freezer and then curl up with my dog in front of the fire.
Yes, of course I also have solar thermal energy, photovoltaics, battery buffer and a heat pump, I’m not stuck in the past. I just like to have options.
We haven’t had fireplaces since the 50s.
There’s better ways to heat your house than burning wood. We’re not vikings.
Ok, but how do you get rid of evidence?
… Having a fireplace doesn’t mean you don’t have a furnace.
