The fire burns for a short time and then goes out.

Your fires are smokey.

There are cracks in the brick or mortar.

There is structural damage to the firebox.

There is excessive soot, ashes, and creosote on the walls in the firebox.

The firebox is where the fire burns, so it's critical to have regular cleaning, inspections, and repairs to avoid problems like excessive smoke, poor drafts, and excessive heat. However, when your fireplace isn't working as well as it should or if you notice any of the following signs, then it may be time to have your firebox rebuilt:

Is the firebrick or mortar in your firebox chipping, decaying, or missing? Does your firebox have gaps between the brickwork? The experienced professional masons at Chimney Specialists Fireplace provide outstanding chimney firebox rebuilding services that will make your fireplace safe to light so you can enjoy a relaxing evening beside the soothing sounds and aroma of a spectacular fire-burning experience

The main difference is that a wood-burning fireplace is more for aesthetics because it is a notoriously inefficient source for home heating. On the other hand, a wood-burning insert draws air from the room, venting up the chimney through its attached flue pipe. In addition, its closed combustion system prevents heat loss, thus radiating more heat throughout your living space. So, you won’t need to wear a sweater to keep warm when sitting beside the fireplace.

The Difference Between A Wood-Burning Fireplace & An Insert

Many New Yorkers have found that a wood-burning insert is a quick and affordable way to convert their gas fireplace into a wood-burning fireplace. An insert provides a traditional fire-burning experience without the emissions that a conventional masonry fireplace produces. So it's much easier to clean and maintain.
