Fireplaces are a waste of wood. not only are they inefficient in the task of making heat from wood but you have a gaping hole in your house sucking out the heat as it dies out. Close the damper too soon and you get a house full of smoke. Find a good used insert or wood stove for him. Earn kegs of beer for pick-up, modification installation.
