Fireplace vs insert

dpg · 01-06-2015, 01:02 PM

ok here's a question, need some opinions...Was up this past weekend burning in the fireplace and at times had some smoke come in the room and got a smoky/ashy/fire smell in the house as well. Was discussing an insert as an option with the wife. So..question is do you smell anything (as much) when you burn in them like an open fireplace? We don't really care for the lingering "smoky" odor we get now in everything - clothes, etc. Also I know the insert would throw way more heat but I'm wondering about specifically any smoke or odor. Thanks...
