Sorry about wording my post so terrible.. must be age kicking in..
I find myself doing dumb things more than ever .. I live in the city now and my days of wood burning are over. Been over since moving here 12 years ago.. The gas fired furnace I have works good so I have no compaints about it . The fire place looks good and to do away with after thinking would be a lot of money to do so with all the remodel work that it would create.
Always good to run things by you all ..
