Many people love the warmth of a real, wood burning fireplace. Nothing beats dozing off next to a wood fire while sounds of crackling soothe you to sleep. But, what do you do when the crackle and pops dull to a sizzle and it seems like your roaring fireplace has lost its edge?
Well, you check out this article, that's what you do! Over the next couple hundred words, I will take some time to discuss the things that may be holding your wood burning fireplace back from operating as efficiently as it should. I know, I know, you can thank me later.
Options not specific to the appliance:
There are many things that can cause a fireplace or stove to lose effectiveness. But for this section we will focus on trouble shooting ideas that are not specific to a certain appliance.
Fireplace Blowers:
If a stove or fireplace blower is available for the unit you have, it is a good idea to invest in one. Fireplace blowers prevent hot air from stagnating around your appliance. When turned on, they push warm air further into the room. While they can't heat a larger space than already set for the wood burning fireplace you own, they can heat up that area in a faster amount of time.

Some thermostats are capable of cycling the main HVAC blower in your furnace without turning the furnace on. This pulls heat from around the stove and circulates it through your house. This feature can be very helpful because it will conserve your electricity while maximizing the heat output of your wood fireplace.
