When you want to improve the efficiency of your existing fireplace you can look at upgrading and adding a wood stove insert . A fireplace insert is a self-contained box made out of steel, cast iron or other durable metal which can withstand high heat levels. You will find that inserts include options for blowers to help force warm air from within the heated chamber into the room where the fireplace or stove is being operated.
