I've had my fireplace going for quite a while this winter, and have added an extra fan to help improve the amount of heat getting into the rest of the house.  Hey who knows it might even improve my fireplaces EROEI as it's blowing on a part that didn't have the best heat transfer before.

However in some ways I always look forward to the first bill of the year, when the bill comes in for our propane.  Since I track our efficency of propane use vs. degree days (coming soon?), it gives you an idea how much heat I've been putting out in our fireplace downstairs.

And so far this year the answer is... Lots.  Viva la revolution.  So as I sit here enjoying the fireplace and it's nice warm heat on a cool November evening, it's nice to know that it's offset 100's litres of propane useage already since we've had this house.  Cool.
