Priorities are important. Family comes first
Question tho...
Have you added wood to your wood pile, there, mister?
You said you weren't going to, but...

Thanks. We’ve debated on covering it with wood shelves and a faux beam shelf. So far I haven’t been able to talk myself into it completely. The brick is a love hate with me.
NopeBrick is, love hate. But that room is very cool.
Wonder if I should get an insert.....
Moved to ain't ever moving again home last year. First time I've had a fireplace. Not too many days in these parts that justify a fire but an insert in the small side might be nice.
If I run the fire ALL day the open fire will start putting out heat just before evening.
TStat is usually at 68 by 1800 last night it was up to 74 with the heat turned off.

Went for a ride on Gauley mountain outside of Marlinton, WV
And there is your answer to the question posed. A good Insert is 75% efficient (at a minimum) and a little one like ours is still putting out 55K BTU’s. An open hearth is rated typically at 0. Ours is going on year 15 with maintenance only being replacing the fire brick on the bottom.
We haven't managed any here yet either. We lived in eastern Iowa for 32 years, but have been permanent Phoenix area residents for 6 years. Hard to get excited about Xmas decorating down here.

I understand we would need to line our chimney.
Unsure why.
Is waste that much hotter?
I was told an insert wouldn't draw correctly without a liner. Looks pretty involved and not something to do if you ever want to go back to traditional fireplace. Surely someone has a system that doesn't require removal of the damper?
We already had a double wall pipe, yet the company ran a flex pipe up inside of it. I assumed it was a CYA liability type thing. I don’t have a good answer to your question. I wouldn’t think it would be any hotter. Great question for experts that sell and install.
The chimney has to much volume. Not enough draft without the liner.
Yesterday afternoon @schroed62 tames the ammo eater with his 6 Creed. Didn’t clean it, but solid. Those 2 down low are 4” targets and this array is at 655 yards. He’s the first to christen those pesky 4 inchers. For you numbers guys, I think he was at 3.0 mils E, holding 0.7 right for wind. Fire checked throats be damned, full speed ahead.
Marking some fish but I’ve yet to put any on the ice.
Snow came through earlier and killed the bite.
That’s alright, it’s better than working!

Eh… nobody wants my blood because I’m AB positive…
Basically the multifuel military vehicle of blood types… I can take everything but very few can take my blood.

Whole blood and plasma are very different.
Plasma is quite vital though and if you can, it might just save a life.

I'm an O negative and they frequently get me for two bags.
I’m A Pos. Last time I went in, they acted like they couldn’t give a shit less. Kinda makes it tougher to take the majority of a morning or afternoon to give.
I think I’ve given about 4 gallons over my life….
Lots while in the military!
What they really love is when your cytomegalovirus negative.
Didn’t think about the plasma aspect.
Oh my buddies is O- and they’re always calling his ass up trying to get him to show up. (universal donor)

Don’t be so hard on yourself!
Turned the corner yesterday..
Day by day, minute by minute we get more sun. The days creep by, half a heartbeat later it's May. Kind of like life.

I have a Stonehenge in my kitchen window.
Looking directly out there is a water tower.....
June 21 or so the sun is left of the tower on rising.
Now.......so far south I don't think it would show in this picture.
47 degrees latitude is a lot of travel.
Let's hope the increasing sun brings increasing fortunes to the Country.
