Should you buy or build an outdoor fireplace?

• <div><p>Deciding whether to buy a prebuilt fireplace kit or build one from scratch comes down to aesthetics, available space, and budget. Many homeowners like the convenience and lower cost of prebuilt options—around <b>$1,500</b>—versus the involved planning and construction of a larger fireplace. Another bonus: you can usually move prebuilt units. Custom projects are more common when homeowners have access to a larger budget and more area in the yard to place the fireplace. </p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to run a gas fireplace or central heat?

• <div><p>Running a gas fireplace is potentially cheaper than using central heating if you are heating a single room and don&rsquo;t need to heat the entire house. That's because gas fireplaces are a better source of direct heat, making them more efficient for warming small spaces. Central heating, while more efficient for whole-home warmth, uses more energy overall. Strategically using a gas fireplace, therefore, can help lower heating bills.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain my chimney or fireplace?

• <div><p>Regular inspections, using dry wood, and installing chimney caps help maintain efficiency and safety.</p></div>

Q: What are the three types of stoves?

• <div><p>Gas, electric, and inductive. Technically speaking, inductive stoves also fall under the electric stove category. However, they use electromagnetic energy to turn the cookware itself into a heat source instead of heating the burner to heat the cookware. As a result, they ensure precise temperature control, which is often the biggest complaint from people switching from gas to electric.</p></div>

Q: What are the cleanest woods to burn in a fireplace?

• <div><p>Well-seasoned hardwoods like oak, maple, hickory, and ash are the cleanest woods to burn in a fireplace. When properly dried, these woods have low moisture content, allowing them to burn hotter and produce less smoke, which minimizes creosote buildup. Ensure the wood is seasoned for at least six months for optimal burning.</p></div>

Unfortunately, my chimney cannot be made usable but he was extremely helpful and very thorough in looking into it. I really appreciated the effort he put into trying to make my dream a reality.

The service was outstanding! I can't remember the woman's name off the top of my head, but she talked us through how everything works and then gave us all of our options. She priced out multiple inserts so we would have an idea of what we were looking at. After shopping around for awhile we know...

We purchased a gas fireplace insert from Crocker's, and Dan, their installer, did the installation work. The $400 price was for the installation, not for the insert. Dan and his helper arrived on time, set up in the garage (since it was a cold winter day), and laid down drop cloths from the...
