Generally viewed as recreational, as
opposed to functional, in that most take
more heat away from a structure than they
generate. Fireplaces provide radiant heat
into a room but use the warmed house air for
combustion. The air that goes up the chimney
typically represents more heat loss than the
radiant heat gained from the flames. A
roaring fire can draw three to four hundred
cubic feet of air out of a structure every
minute. Heatilators, glass doors, and
outside combustion air intakes help reduce
heat loss.
