We have a gas log insert. Remote controlled and sealed up good. Little to no draft. Has variable speed motor that can run on 4 AA batteries in case of power outage. Pretty nice set up.

I wanted a large masonry fireplace in my upcoming house build but since I’m doing total foam encapsulation, I’m going with a stove insert and blower system instead.
It has a way to pull in makeup air to help with combustion. Supposed to be much more efficient and larger ones can heat up to 3000 sq/ft.

At my parents house the chimney was in need of repair - that and they are in their eighties and we got em a fake fire - it looks and sounds like a real fire we were blown away about how not cheesy this thing is! Has a heater tube that blows hot air into the room from both sides and sits inside the fireplace just plugs into any electrical outlet. I like a real fire but it's much less maintenance to have it outside IMO I think it was $500 just googled electric fireplace

We put a set of LP gas logs with a blower in our new house. LOVE IT. Flip the switch and you've got a warm fire that will heat a large area. No cutting/hauling wood, no ash, no mess, no chimney. If I want to sit around a wood fire, I'll go outside to the fire pit, or to the fireplace in my outdoor kitchen (when it's finished) . See Dale Moser, he'll fix you up.

The room it is in has a 20 ft. high centerline ceiling. Rather pricey, but that was complete installation. I considerate it worth every penny on cold days. Does not require a blower even though one is available. House was built with extra insulation, so I am sure that helps some.
