Prefabricated fireplaces
The Cincinatti Post has an article highlighting the advantages of prefabricated fireplaces as well as wood, pellet, and gas stoves. Traditional fireplaces are only about 10% efficient; most of the heat ends up rising through the chimney. Newer prefabricated fireplaces as well as various stoves have significantly higher efficiency. As a result, such products have become hard to find as a result of the low temperatures occuring across the US over the past few weeks.
