We have continued to struggle with the fireplace. On one hand, we really like the idea (smell, feel) of a wood burning fireplace. On the other hand, we are aware that it is polluting and worse for the environment than gas. Another major struggle has been with the look of gas fireplaces...ie: the fake log. Also, if we do a non-sealed wood burning fireplace, our home will not qualify as an "energy star" home...not that that gets us anything other than bragging rights. Yesterday we re-discovered this gas fireplace from Montigo and have decided to throw out the idea of a corner fireplace in favor of this contemporary gas one with stones instead of a fake log.

WOW...LOVE IT!
You will never be sorry you got a gas fireplace. As someone who has had a wood-buring one, then a Vermont Castings woodstove insert, our gas fireplace has been the best. Just be sure the one you get has a good and quiet blower, and consider installing a ceiling fan in the room with the fireplace...the fan will help to push the heated air into other areas of your house.

That Montigo fireplace is awesome, we looked at it and loved the glass and stone options. The whole house is looking great. It's great to see people doing something so progressive and beautiful. It will fit perfectly in such a great city like Madison.
