[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 230688, member: 6937"] Being a welder, I built a fireplace insert. It's made from 1/4" thick steel plate, and has a 1/4" thick steel door on barrel hinges, with a sliding steel "window" that's about 6 inches by 12 inches. Having the steel door open, it works like a regular fireplace, although, with a flat inside top surface, instead of a steep pitch like the fireplace, (I had to make it to dimensions where it would fit inside the existing fireplace) it tends to smoke if you overload it. But if you shut the heavy steel door, it works like a wood stove/heater, as that 1/4" plate starts to heat up, it radiates a LOT of heat. I probably burn about 1-2 truckloads on an average winter, and double that if we have a really cold winter like last year. I have central heat and air, but I always enjoy burning a fire in the winter time. [/QUOTE]
