When you say your woodstove puts out much MORE heat, are you talking
about up the chimney or into the room? I can't imagine anything giving
more heat than a fireplace going up the chimney!


Forgot to mention, it is also a velocity thing too Fireplaces have lots
more air moving with the gasses compared to an airtight stove. That is one
of the thing that makes fireplaces so inefficient.
