[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3072661, member: 15054"] With the cold on us and the talk of inserts and Grate walls of fire grates. I came up with an easy way to keep some of that heat from going up the chimney and put it inside the home. Requires welding and some scrap tubing or pipe Say you have a 6" or 8" pipe laying around. The back of the firebox is 29" wide. Cut that pipe say 28" wide and cap the ends. Cut 2 holes Now get some smaller pipe/tubing and weld these over the 2 holes . Kind of making a heat exchanger. These smaller tubes need to be long enough to be on the outside of the fireplace. You can put an elbow on 1 end and a fan to force room air in one side and heat comes out the other side. Of course you need to build a fire in the box and the larger tube at the rear should soak up a bunch of heat. A picture since I can't splain crap well. This is about as easy as a heat maker as I can come up with. Use a cheap hair dryer to feed air in.. NO not on the heat setting. Or an old computer fan. This is where the elbow will come in handy on 1 side to attach the fan. I will be building one for a buddy and he will be testing it out. [ATTACH=full]112486[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
