So... we just bought a house this week. With the move-in day being in the middle of January (lol friday the 13th) I began to wonder what we could do with the fireplace we have. After all, there's always, well, burning wood, but I was looking for alternatives.
I've heard of people burning coal, but most say you need some sort of forced air flow in order for the coal to successfully burn. I have relatives that burn wood pellets, but in those scenarios they have actual wood stoves.
This is a straight up fireplace. Santa came down the chimney, etc. I'm just trying to be creative with some affordable (yet something that's maybe more environmentally friendly) ways of keeping the house warm with an alternative source other than oil. Is coal acceptable after all? Is wood pellets the money shot?
Anybody have anything to throw on the table? Thanks!
